Second, it equips the executive team with highquality insight into the uncertainty surrounding forwardlooking earnings and cashflow estimates, including key drivers and potential mitigation strategies.

This role reports to the Director of Global Risk & Analytics within GRM, who is accountable for delivering on the second objective and supporting the broader organization in achieving the first, in partnership with risk management teams embedded in AES's portfolio of business units (Local Risk Teams).

The technical-facing Senior Risk Analyst is a key resource on this team, contributing to the successful delivery of business-as-usual responsibilities; maintaining positive relationships with local teams; developing technical knowledge, documentation, modeling, and validation for the firm's most complex positions; and bridging the knowledge gap between market expertise and technical capabilities required to continue building out AES's proprietary risk analytics platform.

  • Lead or assist in designing, prototyping, and validating SQL and / or python-based models for valuing positions based on changing inputs, and for visualizing the results.

  • Lead or assist in automating the prototypes described above and integrating them into our global analytics platform where it will contribute to an improved estimation of, and insight into uncertainty surrounding forwardlooking earnings and cashflow estimates used by our executive leadership team to make high-value decisions.

  • Ensure all modifications to the proprietary platform follow defined version control and change-management protocols, including proper documentation, notification to end-users, and training.

  • Support GRM efforts to improve efficiency in delivering on its primary objectives as outlined above.

  • Assist in responding to ad-hoc requests for information, analysis, or explanations related to GRM responsibilities or as requested by the CRO.
