Your field of responsibility :

As a part of the MRM Enterprise Risk Management Validation team, you will get exposure to model-ing in a wide variety of risk areas such as credit risk, market risk, operational risk etc., with a special-ized focus on pricing models across interest rates, forex, equity, credit and commodity underlying.

- Participate in independent validation reviews across a wide range of core Risk Capital or other business-impactful models used throughout the bank, meeting business needs and regulatory expectations, with responsibility for investigating key aspects of each model under review: choice of modelling approach, the underlying assumptions and associated limitations, perfor-mance and efficient use of the model, etc.

- Seek to review, verify and validate models for theoretical soundness, testing design and identifi-cation of model weaknesses, ensuring ongoing monitoring, as well assist with the firm-wide model risk and control assessment.

The Model Risk Management (MRM) team has a directive to review and approve the models used in the bank in order to make sure that the risk due to design and use of model is accurately managed and mitigated.

The department values Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) and is committed to realizing the firm's D&I am-bition which is an integral part of our global cultural values.
