We're seeking future team members for our Model Risk Management with roles located in Pune and Chennai, India in hybrid/remote positions.
Responsibilities:
The Senior Specialist, Model Risk will contribute to highly visible enterprise-wide model development functions in the organization. The models make estimates that are a key input to management decisions and are reported to Senior Management and the Board of Directors on a regular basis. The role will be to execute enterprise standards for model validation. The incumbent will be responsible for leading work to identify and evaluate model risk as well as proposing controls to manage that risk. This will entail investigating the weaknesses of a framework and setting the scope and designing tests for a validation effort, appropriate to that framework. With large and global operations, model risk underlies much of what we do. The Model Risk Management Group (MRMG) oversees all of the bank's modelling. It sets standards for development and approves all models before they are used in the firm. Through intense interrogation of methodologies and comparison with its own models, the team aims to root out how each model will fail and ensure controls are in place.
As a Model Risk Specialist, you will be responsible for reviewing machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches. This requires challenging the ML/AI models built by the model development team and designing and executing tests for conceptual framework and outcomes. The role may require building benchmarks (shadow frameworks) that run alongside those in production, allowing MRMG to monitor performance in real time. You will be guided by more senior colleagues that help establish the validation scope. The work is highly independent and requires responsibility and accountability for accuracy and quality.
