What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deepen my impact in market risk reporting—owning VaR and controls, improving reporting infrastructure with SQL/API and analytics tools, and partnering with risk teams to make end-to-end processes faster, clearer, and more reliable.

I support risk managers with ongoing monitoring and reporting of risk exposures for North American and Global line s of businesses, maintaining report templates, queries, and infrastructure while meeting service level agreements for report delivery. I oversee VaR metrics across all North American lines of business and investigate risk metric breaches to identify leading causes.

In my current role, I maintain and troubleshoot Alteryx workflows, transform SQL queries into API requests to streamline market risk reporting, and ensure appropriate controls and governance across global reporting teams. Previously at Citigroup, I managed daily risk for corporate syndicated loans, performed loan analysis and reporting, reconciled cash/interest accruals, and partnered cross-functionally to improve portfolio reporting through customized reports and documented training processes.
