Position Overview:

As a member of the Scenario Design team with Finance's Capital Department, you will support the teams' efforts in facilitating the designing, developing, and maintaining enterprise-wide scenarios used for capital planning, stress testing, credit loss forecasting, resolution planning and other business planning purposes. This role will require highly quantitative, analytical, and strong communication skills, ideally leveraging prior stress testing and policy experiences, to help define both the construction as well as the narrative for Freddie Mac's internal scenarios. This role will partner extensively with colleagues across Finance, Business Functions, Risk, and other areas of the enterprise.

Our Impact:

Freddie Mac's Capital Department within the Finance Division is responsible for the planning, forecasting, reporting, and optimization of capital as well as resolution planning. The department focuses on the oversight of capital management, capital planning and elements related to business strategies, risk appetite and capital contingency, as well as regulatory and policy initiatives, and has more recently been tasked with leading the development of internal scenarios (in addition to regulatory-driven scenarios) for purposes of stress testing and capital target setting/planning. Capital department is also responsible for leading the development of the Enterprise's Resolution Plan. To support these ends, the role will support a wide range of analytical work that will help decide and support Freddie Mac's strategies – including capital planning and resolution-ready capabilities within the stress testing framework.

Your Impact:

  • Perform data analytics to ensure accuracy in data for downstream model usage; create and maintain scenario design library
  • Work across capital team to help garner a more comprehensive view of capital across a stress continuum (from a BAU, stress and resolution perspective)

Qualifications:

  • 5-7 years of related professional/industry experience – previous financial services experience is preferred
  • Sophisticated understanding of data and modeling; Knowledge of key risk types that affect capital (credit, market and operational risks) and other key risk types (climate risk) is a plus
  • Prior work experience in areas related to financial analytics or CCAR/DFAST stress testing, or capital planning or policy is preferred but not required
  • Knowledge of key risk types that affect capital (credit, market and operational risks) and other key risk types (climate risk) is a plus
  • Strong communication skills, including ability to distill key messages from complex financial analyses for presentations to senior management and other partners
  • Proven ability to take initiative, collaborate cross-functionally, and synthesize feedback for purposeful solutions
  • An undergraduate degree is required. Advanced degrees (PhDs/MAs in economics, finance and applied math are strongly preferred)

Keys to Success in this Role:

  • Strong organizational, analytical, project management, and interpersonal skills
  • Attention to detail – demonstrate excellent financial analysis skills (Superb Excel, coding and other data analysis skills a plus)
  • Phenomenal teammate, with the mentality of "no role is too small or too ambitious"
