You will primarily focus on developing and implementing various types of predictive models, segmentation strategies, optimisation algorithms & data mining analysis. You’ll also aid the development, maintenance and monitoring of new IRB rating systems, regulatory PD, LGD, EAD & scorecard models.
You’ll also support regulatory and compliance initiatives within Risk such as IFRS9 models and stress testing, credit risk scorecards and simulation models to optimise operational processes and to quantify & manage operational risks. You’ll utilise your expertise in predictive modelling to drive forecasting, pricing, capital & impairment modelling.
IRB knowledge and experience is essential for this role.
You will also:
- Assess IRB regulation within the CRR, SS11/13, EBA GL’s, PRA Rulebook & Basel 3.1 for residential mortgages or business loans.
- Ensure predictive models support regulatory and compliance initiatives within risk such application scorecards, capital and impairment (according to IRB and IFRS9 standards) and stress testing
