• Provide impact assessment for new requests and change requests on design, scope, time, budget of different aspects of program implementation; as well as to mobilise and engage with relevant stakeholders and ensuring project traction.
• Plan and lead the processes of implementing risk controls for model risk as 1LOD, following the risk taxonomy of the bank and delivering the agreed outcomes.
• Lead activities to build and maintain the governance to manage model risk across the WCRA model landscape for all model types (IRB, IFRS9, Stress Test, Climate, etc.), ensuring processes are properly documented and well understood and alignment of regions with the global governance.
• Produce new documentation or changes in the existing ones required as part of the implementation work.

To be successful in this role you should meet the following requirements:

• Good understanding of the regulatory environment in which the bank operates, SS1/23
• Strong understanding of model risk, model governance and controls
• Ability to autonomously drive delivery of projects within the agreed timescale, in liaison with all relevant stakeholders (team colleagues, model owners, credit, business, IT, senior management and regulators)
• Relevant experience in planning and deploying regulatory initiatives including changes in systems, policies, governance, controls.
• Understanding of model life cycle, ideally Wholesale Credit Risk models, governance and controls.
