limits, and early warning indicators (EWIs); investigate breaches and prepare escalation materials for Treasury leadership\nSupport same-day funding and treasury operations decisions with timely

disruptions, and customer activity spikes on firm liquidity\nRun and refine intraday stress scenarios in coordination with Treasury Operations and Risk teams\nEnsure intraday stress results are actionable for real-time decision-making\nLonger-Term Stress Testing\nBuild out the firm's longer-term stress testing program, including scenario design, assumption documentation, model runs, and results reporting\nDevelop and update stress scenarios - including market-wide and tail-risk events - to assess impacts on net capital, customer reserve, firm liquidity, and settlement flows across multiple time horizons\nParticipate in integrated stress exercises with Market Risk, Credit Risk, and Operational Risk teams and help synthesize results for Treasury and Risk stakeholders\nReview and challenge assumptions used in stress models; flag areas requiring further review or remediation\nMonte Carlo Simulations\nBuild and maintain Monte Carlo simulation models to complement deterministic stress testing and better capture the distribution of potential liquidity outcomes under adverse conditions\nCalibrate simulation inputs, validate model outputs, and incorporate results into Treasury

test threshold breaches\nBuild out the controls infrastructure necessary to support liquidity risk governance, including escalation protocols, documentation standards, and audit trails\nPrepare
