About the Company

OakNorth runs an 8bn balance sheet with a small, senior Treasury team. Treasury here is run as a measurable profit contributor rather than a cost centre, and the decisions taken on this desk are a material part of that.

About the Role

The role is deliberately front-office weighted, but the team is small and the remit is broad. You will own the execution of the bank's derivatives and FX activity and its investment portfolio, the sizing of its FX funding and liquidity positions, and support for capital and wholesale funding issuance - building the analytics behind those decisions. This is a hands-on execution role rather than an oversight one.

Responsibilities

  • ● Execute interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and FX forwards across the bank's hedging programme.
  • ● Price, negotiate and execute with dealers across the counterparty panel, and evidence best execution.
  • ● Own the FX risk position - including the USD lending book and intragroup exposures - and produce the exposure and hedging analysis that supports ALCO and Board reporting.
  • ● Monitor collateral and margin flows under CSA arrangements, including the liquidity consequences of adverse mark-to-market moves.
  • ● Supports expansion and onboarding with additional counterparts.
  • ● Work with Finance on hedge designation and supporting documentation.
  • ● Execute the gilt and HQLA investment programme against Board-approved mandates, using asset-swap spread and relative-value analysis to inform selection.
  • ● Maintain and extend the portfolio construction tooling, including duration, maturity-ladder and concentration constraints.
  • ● Size and roll the Treasury bill programme against deposit deployment windows.
  • ● Support oversight of the externally managed AAA CLO portfolio, including trend and spread analytics and preparation for quarterly manager review.
  • ● Support expansion of the investment instruments to develop the liquidity portfolio.
  • ● Support the origination and execution of capital instrument issuance - Tier 2 and AT1 - working alongside the Treasurer, CFO and external advisers.
  • ● Build and maintain the analysis behind issuance decisions, including sizing, pricing benchmarks and comparable market levels.
  • ● Contribute to the development of wholesale funding options as the balance sheet grows, potentially spanning senior unsecured and secured issuance and securitisation.
  • ● Own USD liquidity end to end - determining how much liquidity is required in currency, and executing the cross-currency swaps that deliver it within Risk Appetite Limits.
  • ● Set the sizing and collateral strategy for Bank of England repo facilities (ILTR and STR), instructing and reviewing rather than operating them.
  • ● Steer the wider team on the analytical basis for funding and liquidity decisions, and review their output.
  • ● Build, maintain and extend the desk's Python toolkit - pricing, sizing, limit monitoring and other analytics tasks.

Requirements

  • ● Ability to build a working analytical tool using AI-assisted development and GitHub-controlled workflow.
  • ● Ability to learn to build a working analytical tool quickly.
