Job Description

Role Responsibilities

As per PRA\xe2\x80\x99s recovery planning rules SCB is required to have a recovery plan containing a range of executable options including an option to execute trading activity wind down or TWD. By March 2025 PRA expects SCB to develop set of capabilities that will allow SCB to execute a full or partial wind-down of trading activities in an orderly fashion as per PRA Supervisory Statement 1/22.

TWD capabilities are explained in the following way:

• Information provision and decision-making capabilities: these capabilities enable a firm to produce information and data, which is of sufficient granularity and quality to support decision-making before, during, and after a firm-specific and/or market-wide stress.
• Refresh capabilities: these capabilities enable a firm to refresh the information supporting the development and execution of the TWD option in a timely manner. Firms should be able to refresh data on their balance sheet (including data on trading book positions at the individual contract, collateral and asset levels), their quantification of wind-down costs, and capital and liquidity projections, within a matter of days (the \xe2\x80\x98data refresh\xe2\x80\x99). Firms should be able to refresh the material components of the TWD option, including changes to assumptions and approximations that inform the TWD option, changes to the modelling or methodology firms use as part of their information provision and decision-making capabilities, and changes to the factors that make up the TWD scenario within weeks (the \xe2\x80\x98full plan refresh\xe2\x80\x99).
