Risk Modelling
Join our Risk Modelling team
Working in Model Risk and Validation
Our primary role within the Model Risk and Validation (MRAV) team is to ensure that all models are approved as being "fit for purpose" and that model risk is effectively managed across the Group. We achieve this by carrying out independent oversight of new and existing models via review work and analysis where we actively challenge whether the development, ongoing performance and outputs of the Group's models meet the standards set out in Model Governance Policy and supporting procedures.
Why should I work in Model Risk and Validation?
Model Risk and Validation (MRAV) is an excellent team to join. As the team covers models across Retail and Commercial Credit, Market Risk and Asset Liability Management there are lots of opportunities to learn - including new coding languages and modelling techniques as well as numerous business partners to collaborate with.
Roles within the team will allow candidates to utilise their specific areas of modelling interest whilst building on areas less familiar, developing a complete model experience in a fraction of the time than other routes.
