Upstart is a fintech company that uses AI to improve access to credit. This role is for a Manager, Treasury Risk, responsible for building and executing the bank's second-line Treasury risk oversight program. The role involves monitoring key risk indicators, challenging first-line activities, preparing reports for senior management and the board, and ensuring compliance with regulatory guidance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Execute day-to-day second-line Treasury risk monitoring activities — tracking and reporting on key risk indicators, risk limit utilization, and exposures across liquidity and funding risk, interest rate risk (IRR), price risk, and capital management, and escalating breaches or emerging concerns to the Director of Treasury Risk
  2. Support independent review and credible challenge of first-line Bank Treasury activities, including cash flow management, ALM analysis, balance sheet positioning, investment portfolio management, and the design and outputs of stress testing — preparing written analysis and challenge documentation to support the Director's 2LOD positions
  3. Prepare and maintain ALCO and board risk committee reporting materials, synthesizing Treasury risk monitoring data and 2LOD findings into clear, accurate reporting for senior management, the CRO, and the board risk oversight committee
  4. Maintain and update Treasury risk policies, procedures, and program documentation in alignment with OCC, FDIC, and interagency guidance on interest rate risk, liquidity and funding risk, and capital management — ensuring documentation remains current as the program matures and the bank's risk profile evolves
  5. Support review of stress testing scenario design, assumptions, and outputs — identifying gaps or inconsistencies between 1LOD assumptions and the bank's risk profile, and preparing structured written analysis to inform the Director's challenge position
