About The Position

We can't afford to be boring. Neither can you. The scale and scope of what TD does may surprise you. The rapid pace of change makes it a business imperative for us to be smart and open-minded in the way we think about technology. TD's technology and business teams become more intertwined as new opportunities present themselves. This new era in banking does not equal boring. Not at TD, anyway. Within TD Technology, the Treasury Analytics Group (TAG) is dedicated to support the Treasury and Balance Sheet Management (TBSM) department in measuring and managing liquidity and market risk (interest rate, equity, and foreign exchange) for the Bank's investment portfolio, both in Canada and the US. TAG creates models, financial systems, applications, and processes required to support various functional teams in TBSM including FO Investments, Liquidity Risk Management (both Retail and Wholesale), Non-Trading Market Risk and Cash Management. As regulators and the industry significantly ratchet up the focus and investment in Liquidity Reporting, this opportunity provides the one with the ability to be in at the ground level and to help lead and architect the bank wide TD Wholesale Liquidity program forward. This team operates like a small tech company within a large financial institution. The ideal candidate is an engineer passionate about all things technology and resilient, scalable & stable applications.
