This role is a key part of the Risk Capital Model Development team.

• Apply advanced quantitative methodologies, including Monte Carlo simulation‑based frameworks, correlation and dependency modelling, loss and recovery modelling, capital allocation methodologies, and stress loss estimation.
• Develop and implement models to appropriately measure and monitor default risk, loss severity, concentration risk, tail risk, and diversification effects across portfolios, legal entities, sectors, and regions.
• Perform model testing activities including benchmarking, back‑testing, sensitivity analysis, and ongoing performance monitoring to ensure robustness, stability, and regulatory compliance.
• Prepare high‑quality model documentation in accordance with Citi Model Risk Management policies and governance standards.

• Strong knowledge of Risk Capital frameworks, including credit, counterparty, market, and concentration risk, and related regulatory capital expectations is an additional asset.
• Proven ability to communicate complex quantitative concepts clearly to non‑quantitative stakeholders.
• Master’s or PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, Physics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline strongly preferred.
