Risk Manager 3, Credit Risk Management

The Credit Risk Management (CRM) Unit of the Supervision, Regulation, and Credit Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB) has an opening for a Risk Manager to oversee System and local credit risk management policy initiatives. The CRM Unit contributes to FRBB's mission to promote sound growth and financial stability in New England and the nation by effectively serving as a source of liquidity to depository institutions (DIs) by routinely extending overnight credit to qualifying DIs through the Discount Window, providing emergency credit to the financial system during times of market stress, and administering the Board of Governors' Payment System Risk policy governing the use of intraday credit.

Our lending activities assist the Board and the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee in implementing monetary policy.

The CRM Unit manages the credit risk posed by intraday and overnight credit exposure by (i) monitoring the condition of DIs, taking actions to mitigate the risk posed by those that pose heightened risk to the Reserve Bank and/or the financial industry, and coordinating DI failures; and (ii) ensuring that all extensions of credit are secured to the satisfaction of the Reserve Bank by making ongoing determinations as to the acceptability and valuation/margining of collateral pledged by DIs.

We actively lead and contribute to related System and local policy initiatives, particularly relating to collateral eligibility and valuation. Additionally, we are actively involved in the development and execution of emergency lending facilities.
