• Provide risk oversight across XVA, CVA, funding, collateral, margin and counterparty-financing exposures.
• Assess new trades, structured transactions and portfolio changes, including concentration, liquidity, wrong-way and close-out risk.
• Review hedge performance and contribute to risk appetite, limits, scenarios and governance reporting.
