Risk Management Job Description
We are known for our ability to provide our
clients with innovative approaches to participating in the financial
marketplace, managing balance sheets, and optimizing capital
structures. But we also manage our own market, credit, liquidity and
business risks. As a Financial Management Associate, you'll work in
one of the most stimulating environments in the industry.
The Financial Management Associate program will provide you with
exposure to these critical functions within Bear Stearns. From the
beginning, we'll put you to work tackling challenging projects in
areas such as:
TRADING RISK MANAGEMENT
The Risk Management Department seeks to understand the market risk
profile of each trading area and to ensure accurate internal
reporting of the firm's risk positions. As a risk management
associate, you will assist a senior risk manager with reviews of
daily activity and a variety of special projects.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
The Global Credit Department measures and monitors the risk Bear
Stearns faces when dealing with counterparties that must meet
forward obligations arising from a variety of sophisticated fixed
income, equity and commodity products. You may model unusual
derivatives transactions to determine the potential credit exposure
they create for Bear Stearns; assess the creditworthiness of our
counterparties; and use stress-testing techniques to analyze
portfolios of trades.
LIQUIDITY/CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
As part of the Chief Financial Officer's team, this group assesses
the adequacy of Bear Stearns' capital and funding structure and
evaluates how well the business units utilize allocated capital
resources. Your responsibilities in this group would be to help
evaluate a wide variety of performance measures and
funding/liquidity analyses.
