Build New Solutions: Develop quantitative models and analytical applications when new questions arise, translating ambiguous business problems into structured analytical solutions. Modernize Pricing Analytics: Support the transition of pricing models to Snowflake and help build stronger attribution and sensitivity analytics supporting offset center P&L and profitability insights. Support Portfolio & Hedging Decisions: Apply fixed income valuation, derivatives, duration, convexity, and risk-management concepts to mortgage portfolio and broader balance sheet hedging activities. Automate & Scale: Use Python and Excel/VBA to automate processes, improve analytical workflows, and create more efficient and scalable solutions. Partner Across the Business: Collaborate with Treasury, Enterprise Risk Management, Credit Risk, Product, and portfolio leaders to explain models, support validation, and help establish meaningful guardrails and guidelines. Strengthen Model Governance: Maintain model documentation, assumptions, and parameters while navigating appropriate model governance and validation processes. This isn’t just about building models. It’s about understanding what the numbers mean, asking the right questions, and using quantitative analysis to influence decisions that strengthen BECU.
