Position Overview
Mizuho is seeking a highly motivated Quantitative Strategist (AVP) to join the Balance Sheet Strategy (BSS) â Financial Resource Analysis team, a group at the center of the firmâs efforts to measure, forecast, and optimize the consumption of regulatory capital and other scarce financial resources. As regulatory capital requirements grow in complexityâdriven by Basel III Endgame, SA-CCR, and evolving market and counterparty risk standardsâthis role offers the opportunity to help build the analytical foundation that informs how Mizuho deploys its balance sheet.
The successful candidate will combine strong quantitative and programming skills with a solid understanding of U.S. regulatory capital frameworks to develop RWA analytics, capital forecasting tools, and balance sheet optimization capabilities across Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR), Securities Financing Transactions (SFT), Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA), and Market Risk. Beyond producing metrics, the role is expected to generate actionable insights that shape business strategy, pricing, and capital allocation decisions.
A key dimension of the role is the practical application of AI and machine learning techniquesâincluding generative AI and large language modelsâto enhance forecasting accuracy, automate analytical and documentation workflows, and accelerate the interpretation of complex regulatory rules. The Quantitative Strategist will operate at the intersection of quantitative finance, regulation, and technology, working closely with Treasury, Market Risk, Credit Risk, Finance, Technology, Model Validation, and senior management, with significant visibility across the organization.
