  • Contribute to model inventory oversight and ongoing model performance monitoring

This role sits within Enterprise Risk and offers strong exposure to senior stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3–7+ years’ experience in Model Risk, Model Validation, or quantitative financial modelling
  • Strong understanding of capital markets / market risk models
  • Experience with fixed income products, interest rate models, credit risk models, or mortgage models
  • Proficiency in Python (strongly preferred), R, MATLAB, or similar
  • Strong analytical and report-writing skills
  • Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts
  • Advanced quantitative degree preferred (Finance, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Computer Science or similar).

Why Consider This Role?

  • Strong visibility within Enterprise Risk
  • Broad exposure across complex financial models
  • Stable, well-capitalised institution
  • Competitive compensation with relocation support
