• Partner with Front Office, Risk, and Model Validation teams to ensure model robustness.
• Contribute to documentation and governance aligned to internal model approval standards.

Technical Expertise & Competencies Required

• 5+ years experience in quantitative modelling within Front Office or Model Validation.
• Strong knowledge of derivatives pricing models across one or more asset classes (Rates, FX, Credit, Equities, Commodities).
• Solid understanding of model sensitivities and risk metrics.
• Programming proficiency in Python, C++, or similar.
• Prior exposure to FRTB IMA, market risk models, or regulatory capital frameworks.
• Experience with risk model performance assessment or capital impact analysis.
• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail.
• Ability to bridge quantitative theory with regulatory and risk requirements.
