You’ll be working in the Scenario Expansion Methodology team in Krakow with members in the US, UK, Switzerland, Poland, and India. Our role is to develop and maintain financial and macroeconometric forecast models that are used to expand stress and baseline scenarios. The results of our models are used to assess the impact of macro-economic and market-shock scenarios on the firm’s profitability and capital adequacy.
