Recruiting for an ambitious start-up consultancy, founded by two seasoned professionals, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality solutions to Tier 1 banks and other financial institutions. Joining at this early stage offers unique growth opportunities, including potential equity and revenue-sharing options.

The Opportunity:

Your first project will involve IFRS9 Model Validation for a Tier 1 bank. However, as a key member of our client, you’ll have the chance to work on diverse and challenging projects with other leading financial institutions as the company grows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Validate and review IFRS9 credit risk models, ensuring compliance with regulatory and industry standards.
• Provide detailed technical analysis and documentation of model development or validation findings.
• Collaborate with clients to address findings and recommend actionable improvements.
• Contribute to the company's growth by shaping best practices and delivering excellence in all client engagements.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: Strong background in Credit Risk Modelling, Model Validation, or Model Oversight, ideally with expertise in IFRS9 or IRB frameworks.
• Reputation: Prior experience at a reputable organisation is highly desirable.
• Technical Skills: Proficient in quantitative methodologies, statistical analysis, and relevant tools (e.g., Python, R, SAS, SQL).
• Availability: Preference for candidates who are immediately available or on a one-month notice. However, we are open to those with longer notice periods if they bring exceptional expertise.
• Mindset: Entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability to thrive in a start-up environment, and a passion for solving complex problems.
