Job Description:

Role Overview

The Model Development (MD) team within Risk Management is responsible for developing, enhancing, and implementing credit risk methodologies across wholesale and commercial portfolios. This role focuses on non-retail credit risk, covering IFRS 9 allowance, stress testing (e.g., EWST), and regulatory capital models.

The successful candidate will lead the development of robust, forward-looking credit risk models and drive innovation in modeling approaches to address the unique characteristics and limitations of non-retail portfolios.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and enhance statistical and quantitative models for non-retail credit loss forecasting (PD, LGD, EAD), IFRS 9 allowance, and stress testing frameworks.
• Advance methodologies to address non-retail modeling challenges, including data sparsity, low default portfolios, name concentration risk, expert judgment overlays, and portfolio heterogeneity.
• Build scalable tools and analytical solutions to support model development, testing, and implementation.
• Continuously improve model performance through rigorous validation, monitoring, and incorporation of emerging risk drivers.
• Ensure models meet internal Model Risk Management standards, regulatory expectations, and data governance requirements.
• Partner with stakeholders across Risk, Finance, Model Validation, and Technology to support model development, review, and implementation.
• Communicate insights, model assumptions, and limitations clearly to senior management and regulators.

Qualifications & Skills

• Graduate degree in quantitative discipline (e.g., Financial Mathematics, Statistics, Economics).
• Solid experience in credit risk modeling with exposure to wholesale/non-retail portfolios.
• Strong understanding of IFRS 9, stress testing, and regulatory capital frameworks (e.g., Basel).
• Proficiency in Python or equivalent programming languages for data analysis and model development.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to work with complex, imperfect datasets.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with ability to engage senior stakeholders.

Differentiating Capabilities (Highly Valued)

• Demonstrated ownership mindset and bias for action, with a track record of proactively identifying gaps and independently driving end-to-end solutions in complex, ambiguous environments.
• Strong focus on AI-driven innovation in credit risk modeling, including evaluating and applying machine learning, generative AI, and advanced analytics techniques in a controlled, regulator-friendly manner.
• Experience leveraging AI-enabled tools (e.g., Copilot, code assistants, automation frameworks) to accelerate model development, enhance productivity, and streamline documentation and testing workflows.
• Ability to research, assess, and operationalize emerging AI capabilities, including identifying where these approaches are applicable in non-retail portfolios (e.g., feature engineering, segmentation, scenario modeling), while thoughtfully managing model risk and explainability constraints.
• Proven ability to challenge legacy methodologies and introduce innovative, scalable solutions that balance sophistication, interpretability, and regulatory expectations in low-default, data-constrained environments.
• Experience in leading quant teams
