Document validation findings, clearly identifying model weaknesses, limitations, and potential risk.

Collaborate with model developers, data scientists, and business stakeholders to ensure model transparency and compliance.

Ensure alignment with regulatory guidelines (e.g., SR 11-7, OCC, Basel, CCAR, etc.) and internal model risk management policies.

Track model changes and periodic reviews, and monitor ongoing performance over time.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's or master's degree in a quantitative field such as statistics, mathematics, economics, finance, computer science, or engineering.

2+ years of experience in model validation, quantitative analytics, risk management, or related roles.

Proficiency in programming and statistical tools (e.g., Python, R, SAS, SQL, MATLAB).

Strong understanding of model governance, risk modeling, and regulatory standards.

Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to communicate complex findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment with minimal supervision.
