About this position
We are looking for a web-development savvy, visualization-focused, and communication-oriented Sovereign Vulnerabilities Data Visualization and Analytics Contractor to join the Credit Risk Management Unit (RMC). In this role, you will develop and enhance interactive tools that transform complex sovereign risk data into clear, intuitive, and compelling visual insights for credit monitoring, internal risk assessments, and senior management decision-making. You will combine web development, data visualization, and information design to build interactive dashboards, automate data-processing workflows, and improve the scalability and sustainability of RMC’s Sovereign Vulnerabilities analytical products.
You will work in the Credit Risk Management Unit (RMC), part of the Office of Risk Management (RMG). The unit is responsible for assessing and monitoring credit risk across the Bank’s portfolio and providing timely risk analysis to support senior management and institutional decision-making.
What you’ll do
- Enhance interactive dashboards and web-based analytical tools, using technologies such as React, to support sovereign vulnerability analysis and credit risk monitoring.
- Design clear, intuitive, and decision-useful data visualizations, charts, and analytical interfaces that communicate complex sovereign risk information effectively to senior management and other stakeholders.
- Automate data processing, transformation, and visualization workflows to improve the efficiency, consistency, and sustainability of recurring updates.
- Integrate and process data from multiple internal and external sources, including country-level, macroeconomic, financial, sovereign debt, and credit rating data.
- Improve existing analytical and reporting processes by identifying opportunities for automation, standardization, scalability, and enhanced user experience.
- Work closely with credit risk specialists to translate sovereign risk concepts and analytical requirements into effective digital tools and visual products.
- Support data quality assurance and validation to ensure the accuracy and consistency of information presented in dashboards and analytical tools.
- Develop technical documentation to facilitate the maintenance, scalability, and continuity of developed solutions.
- Develop and maintain visual design standards, templates, color schemes, and reusable visualization components to ensure that Sovereign Vulnerabilities products and sub-products are clear, visually cohesive, intuitive, and consistent.
