The Role Responsibilities
Treasury works closely with senior management, the businesses, Country CEOs / CFOs, and Finance to manage and promote the bank's liquidity, capital and balance sheet position. Within Treasury, the Treasury Liquidity function is responsible to driving the strategic liquidity agenda, including Funds Transfer Pricing ('FTP') and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Booking ('IRRBB'). Within this context, the FTP team works with key stakeholders at the country level to ensure policy application and with a broader universe of stakeholders to ensure the application of policy is appropriate to drive the strategic outcomes for the balance sheet.
The goal of FTP is to create an internal pricing environment where:

• The relative liquidity costs and benefits of doing individual businesses are well appreciated;
• The interest rate risk that businesses run is neutralized and/or effectively managed; and
• Pricing is a commercial enabler, by being consistent enough to make comparative assessments between different activities while remaining flexible enough to drive desired commercial outcomes.

This role will be focused on working with countries and businesses to ensure best FTP practice, working across the FTP process flow to provide accurate end to end FTP computation, and modelling changes to various components that impact FTP, including the pricing calculations, rates environment, and balance sheet.
Strategy

• Work with key FTP stakeholders to create an effective pricing environment across the entire FTP process flow, with particular focus on increasing pricing transparency.
• Leverage existing, and supplement with new, models to show how changes in key variables drive changes in FTP rates and accruals.
• Help refine the FTP process flow to ensure accuracy and effectiveness of pricing environment.

Business

• Work with the businesses to demystify the components of FTP, understand the drivers of their rate and accruals, optimize their portfolio strategy to maximize returns, and forecast future FTP changes.
• Assist in building out the FTP MIS available to stakeholders to improve transparency.
• Support initiatives to appropriately price consumption of scarce balance sheet resources to encourage efficient resource allocation.

Processes
