• Ensuring that existing models are appropriately monitored and performance understood, and identifying areas for enhancement where appropriate
• Collaborating with model validation teams to address any findings and ensure models are robust
• Presenting model developments to Senior leadership and committees, and representing the Credit Risk Modelling team with internal and external stakeholders
