DESCRIPTION:

Duties: Develop artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)-based solutions that drive key credit decisions in the risk management process. Work on strategic, highly visible machine learning projects and interact with business strategy, model governance, data management, and model implementation teams to drive business results. Apply analytical, data science, and machine learning skills to solve complex business problems. Work across teams to design, develop, and implement analytical models. Responsible for these models throughout the model's life cycle, including data cleanup, data analysis, model selection, ongoing performance monitoring, issue resolution, and model retirement. Monitor and validate existing models to support risk strategy and business functions. Liaise with business partners to ensure alignment of the modeling team's Book of Work with the strategic direction of the business. Contribute to the asks and requirements stemming from various regulatory exams. Prepare presentations and reports for both non-technical and technical audiences including senior management, risk strategy and Model Risk Governance and Review (MRGR).
