Treasury Risk provides second line oversight to ensure risk is identified, measured, monitored, controlled, and reported in line with regulatory expectations and BNY’s risk appetite.

The Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) oversight function is the second line of defense responsible for the oversight of the Asset and Liability Management on IRRBB at BNY Mellon.

Key counterparts include Corporate Treasury, at the corporate level and across the world. Asset-Liability management, liquidity, and capital knowledge is critical to understanding deployment constraints and trade-offs. IRRBB oversight team works very actively with the other Treasury Risk functions, and within Risk & Compliance functions relating to interest rate risk.

As BNY Mellon is a Global Systemically Important Bank (GSIB), the regulatory requirements and expectations for the Treasury and Treasury Risk are at the highest standard in the country.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: 

• Independently review and challenge IRRBB management processes across BNY Group entities, covering measurement, limits, controls, reporting, and governance in line with applicable IRRBB/CSRBB Guidelines, requirements and Supervisors’ expectations.

• Own and enhance the IRRBB limit framework, including EVE and NII sensitivities, behavioral assumptions, interest rate shock scenarios, basis/spread risk, and optionality.

• Assess IRRBB aspects of new products/services, business process changes, and structural changes (e.g., entity reorganizations, acquisitions/divestitures), including capital and liquidity implications under applicable regulation .

• Perform in-depth risk analysis, reporting, and monitoring aligned to established practices, including supervisory outlier tests (SOT), stress/scenario analysis, and attribution of IRRBB drivers.

• Conduct deep dives on asset classes and portfolios (e.g., fixed income, deposits, loans), including surveillance, valuation approaches, impairment linkages, and end-to-end risk management evaluation.

• Contribute content and analysis for Treasury Risk governance forums and risk committees; prepare materials suitable for second-line challenge and senior stakeholder engagement.

• Partner with portfolio managers, ALM, and business teams on emerging risks (e.g., yield curve shifts, basis risk, customer behavioral changes) and ensure alignment with risk appetite and regulatory constraints.

• Collaborate closely with Liquidity Risk and Capital Risk to ensure integrated oversight and a holistic view of risk drivers, incorporating liquidity and capital planning considerations.

• Support continuous enhancement of models, methodologies, assumptions (e.g., deposit repricing, prepayments), controls, and documentation to meet evolving regulatory standards and internal policies.

• Maintain awareness of regulatory developments and best practices in IRRBB, CSRBB, and capital risk, translating supervisory expectations into actionable oversight and challenge.
