About The Position

The team utilizes several key liquidity frameworks designed to appropriately analyze and manage the short and long-term liquidity risk across the firm. These frameworks are driven by both internal and regulatory considerations, including Capital One’s internal stress tests, the Holding Company’s Liquidity position, Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), and Capital One’s Contingency Funding Plan. These frameworks are key drivers in shaping the size and composition of the company’s liquidity buffer, as well as influencing the funding profile and strategic investments.

In addition, this role will also gain exposure to Capital One’s full liquidity adequacy framework, inclusive of all internal and regulatory liquidity stress testing tools. The ideal candidate will become well-versed in liquidity risk management metrics, corresponding data ecosystem, and model architecture to increase their strategic impact on the team.
