London, Greater London, United Kingdom JPMorganChase Full time £80,000 - £120,000 per year
Description

We are looking for a new member to join our Commodities team in the Model Risk Governance and Review Group which is responsible for end-to-end model risk management across the firm. We adopt a comprehensive model risk management approach, assessing models within their usage context and based on relevant success criteria. Our role involves identifying limitations, communicating them effectively, and assisting model users in the design compensating controls. This approach requires strong technical skills and business understanding, offering an excellent opportunity for skill development, setting us apart from typical validation teams.

As a Quant Model Risk Associate within our Risk Management team, you will be responsible for assessing and mitigating the risks associated with complex models used for valuation, risk measurement, capital calculation, and decision-making purposes. This role also provides the opportunity to gain exposure to various business and functional areas, as well as collaborate closely with model developers and users. Unlike the theoretical empowerment seen at some banks, our team is truly empowered to challenge front office models, ensuring they meet rigorous standards before being used in production. The bank genuinely values our role in providing effective independent challenge, prioritizes model adequacy and fitness for purpose over business opportunities when needed.

  • Liaise with model developers, Risk and Valuation Control Groups and provide guidance on model risk
  • Evaluate model performance on a regular basis

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • MSc, PhD or equivalent in a quantitative discipline
  • Inquisitive nature, ability to ask right questions and escalate issues
