  • We require candidates to hold a Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline such as Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Data Science, Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field with a strong quantitative focus.

  • In this role, you will execute thorough model validation oversight for the lifecycle management of models, ensuring compliance with established risk and compliance policies. Your tasks will include implementing independent validation activities for high-risk models, both in-house and vendor-based.

Additionally, you will conduct model testing, assess data quality, and oversee the entire lifecycle of model management across Banking and Insurance sectors.
