- Have deep knowledge of liquidity, funding, stress testing, contingency funding, and interest-rate risk measurement, including net interest income and economic value sensitivity

- Understand risk appetite, limits, escalation processes, and executive- and Board-level risk reporting
- Translate quantitative analysis into clear risk judgments and practical recommendations for technical and nontechnical audiences
