You'll work across credit, operational, insurance, treasury and climate risk, turning complex model outputs into clear insights that help senior leaders make smart decisions. You'll be the bridge between technical modelling and commercial outcomes. You'll also get stuck into portfolio risk work by spotting trends, identifying gaps, and helping the business challenge its view of risk. You'll collaborate with third parties, coach colleagues, and support wider strategic projects, including the shift to electric vehicles.
