Data Scientist [Integrated Risk Management]

We are looking for a Data Scientist for our Integrated Risk Management team to help develop risk models and analytical frameworks that support key business decisions across credit, financial, and operational risk domains. In this role, you will work on complex quantitative challenges, build predictive and diagnostic models, and partner with stakeholders across the organization to improve risk visibility, portfolio performance, and decision-making.

Challenges that await you

Develop and implement advanced statistical models for our credit portfolio at both per-account and aggregate levels to predict behavior and optimize performance

Create sophisticated Net Present Value (NPV) models and their core components on a per-account basis for our various credit products

Model critical financial metrics, including FX position, liquidity, reserves, and other balance sheet items to support robust financial management

Analyze and model not only expected outcomes but also their deviations, distributions, and uncertainty, recognizing the inherently probabilistic nature of financial and risk data

Design diagnostic and forecasting models that help identify, monitor, and mitigate risks across the organization

Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to investigate model performance, understand deviations from expectations, and improve decision-making processes

Contribute to the development of quantitative methodologies and risk frameworks across credit, financial, and operational risk domains

What makes you a great fit

M.S. or Ph.D. in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Economics, or a related discipline

4+ years of hands-on experience in Data Science, Quantitative Analytics, Risk Modeling, or a similar role

Strong understanding of statistical modeling, probability theory, and uncertainty quantification

Experience developing predictive models and working with financial, risk, or other highly stochastic datasets

Strong proficiency in Python or R and experience with statistical and analytical libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Statsmodels, Scikit-learn)

Experience with classical statistical methods, forecasting techniques, and modern machine learning approaches when appropriate

Experience modeling distributions, confidence intervals, and risk metrics rather than focusing solely on point estimates

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to independently drive analytical initiatives from problem definition to implementation

Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
