Sr Manager - MPC Reference Data

Referential data are common information shared and used daily by many banking activities. We classify referential data in 3 main categories:

- Dynamic data: i.e. data whose values change on a frequent basis. An example would be that we produce daily in order to run the profit & loss calculation or risk analysis on their stock positions. We produce daily forex rates, interest rates curves, futures prices, bonds prices, stocks prices, funds or indexes prices, etc.

- Static data: i.e. descriptive data. For example, a description of listed products is a prerequisite to book new deals on all market trading activities. On regular and massive demand, we are required to understand and describe the intrinsic characteristics of products like futures, bonds, securities, stocks, warrants, as well as new products created by our front-offices.

- Environmental data: Where we maintain the hierarchy classification of all activities within Societe Generale corporate and investment banking, publish up to date calendars, collect counterpart ratings, etc

Our daily role is to capture, certify with appropriate controls, and publish the reference data to be used by main processes including the Profit and Loss income computation. Unique information capturing, control and certification by creative methods, on-time daily publishing of accurate information is part of the straight through processing policy that we observe.

Due to our transversal role, we are involved in various projects across the organization. We cover all activities of investment banking, capital markets with equity, treasury, commodities, derivatives, and debt finance with loans.
