Job description
You will be independently validate highâimpact models across credit risk, financial crime, and advanced analytics use cases. This is a handsâon technical role.
What You'll Be Doing
- Independent validation of machine learning models across:
- Credit risk models
- Propensity and behavioural models
- Financial crime models (fraud and AML)
- Applying advanced ML techniques, including:
- Supervised learning (Random Forest, XGBoost, CatBoost, Neural Networks)
- Unsupervised learning (clustering, isolation forests)
- Managing model risk across the endâtoâend model lifecycle, including:
- Feature engineering and data preparation
- Model training, evaluation, and selection
- Production deployment and monitoring
- Building and reviewing models in Pythonâbased environments
- Partnering closely with Risk, Technology, and Business stakeholders
- Ensuring models meet governance, performance, and scalability standard
What We Are Looking For
- 58 years relevant experience
- Strong handsâon experience building machine learning and data science models endâtoâend
- Proven use of techniques such as:
- Boosting algorithms (XGBoost, CatBoost)
- Neural networks
- Clustering and anomaly detection
- Advanced proficiency in Python
- Solid experience with SQL and working with large, complex datasets
- Experience within credit risk, propensity modelling, or financial crime analytics
- Experience with independent validation of models and/or detailed peer review
- Proven experience researching machine learning model
Qualifications
- Honours or Masters degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Actuarial Science, or a related quantitative fiel
Preferred/ Ideal
- Experience deploying or supporting models in cloud environments
- Exposure to credit risk modelling, scorecards, or IFRSârelated analytics
- Financial crime (fraud or AML) modelling experience
- Experience designing models with scalability and deployment in mind
- Familiarity with model risk, governance, or validation standard
What's in it for you?
- Work on highâimpact, real-world models used across the industry.
- Exposure to a wide variety of models, not just one product or portfolio
- Learn from experienced quantitative leaders in a collaborative environment
- Be part of a fast-growing organisation that values simplicity, transparency, and ownership
- Competitive rewards, learning opportunities, and long-term career growt
Conditions of Employment
- Clear criminal and credit record
