It’s essential that you have significant experience of advanced internal-based ratings (A-IRB) capital models and have a strong understanding of credit and finance/treasury models.

You'll have an advanced understanding of the regulatory framework and expectations relating to model risk management. Knowledge of SS1/23 is required, along with the ability and experience of setting model risk appetites and measures (limits and key risk indicators).

You’ll be comfortable engaging with and presenting to Exec and Board level and be able to communicate information with ease and in a relevant manner to key stakeholders across the business whilst building strong relationships with them. You’ll have a core strength of bringing stakeholders at multiple levels along the journey with you to enable successful outcomes.
