Assistant Manager, Model Risk & Validation

If you love supporting with regulatory reviews and compliance then this is the opportunity for you!

This role is part of  a specialist modelling team focused on building and delivering industry leading models within the Group. You’ll be responsible for ensuring specific models are appropriately validated, monitored and managed in line with Group and regulatory standards.

You’ll be performing complex data processing using established procedures and testing new procedures to see if they might represent improvements over existing methods.

You’ll play an important role in enabling others to use and benefit from existing data management systems. You’re expected to work independently to collate and analyse data using pre-determined tools, methods and formats.
