What does a model risk manager do?

A Model Risk Manager is responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with financial and analytical models used by an organization. They ensure that models are accurate, reliable, and compliant with regulatory standards by overseeing validation processes and monitoring model performance. Their role often includes collaborating with model developers, conducting independent reviews, and implementing model governance frameworks to minimize potential losses or errors stemming from model misuse or inaccuracies.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a model risk manager?

To thrive as a Model Risk Manager, you need a solid background in quantitative finance, statistics, or mathematics, often supported by an advanced degree and experience in model development or validation. Familiarity with programming languages such as Python or R, risk management frameworks, and regulatory requirements like SR 11-7 or ECB guidelines is typically expected. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for articulating complex model risks to stakeholders. These competencies are vital for ensuring the accuracy, compliance, and reliability of financial models within an organization.

What are common challenges a model risk manager faces when validating complex financial models?

Model Risk Managers often encounter challenges such as limited or incomplete data, evolving regulatory requirements, and the need to validate highly complex or proprietary models. They must work closely with model developers, quantitative analysts, and compliance teams to ensure all assumptions and methodologies are sound. Staying up to date with industry best practices and maintaining clear documentation are also crucial, as is effectively communicating findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What is the difference between Model Risk Manager vs Quantitative Analyst?

Work EnvironmentFocus on risk management teams within financial institutions; regulatory complianceAnalytical roles within trading, investment, or banking divisions; model development

Job description

Location: Overland Park, KS (Kansas City Metro)
Employment Type: Full-time, In-Office
Department: Actuarial
Salary: Top of market salary + equity

Steadily is redefining landlord insurance. We are the market leader in tech-enabled coverage for real estate investors and we are bringing catastrophe risk modeling fully in house. This is not a maintenance role. This is a build-it role.

At Steadily, pricing sophistication is not theoretical; if you can dream it, we can build it. We own our stack, move quickly, and invest in analytics that directly shape the portfolio. When you join us, you will own catastrophe exposure end-to-end; transforming raw data, stochastic outputs, and climate signals into sharp, actionable intelligence that protects the balance sheet and drives strategy.

You will not be reporting on risk. You will be defining it.

This is a full-time, in-office role based in Overland Park, Kansas. A generous relocation package is available for out-of-state candidates.

  • Lead during live CAT events; produce rapid loss assessments and brief leadership with clear, data-driven updates as events unfold.

  • Shape and validate reinsurance strategy; partner with Actuarial to design structures that mitigate tail risk while optimizing portfolio efficiency.

  • Integrate climate intelligence; embed climate change analytics and non-modeled perils such as wildfire and convective storm into our long-term risk framework.

  • Build Steadily’s proprietary View of Risk; define the methodology, governance, and outputs that guide underwriting and portfolio decisions.

  • Continuously elevate pricing sophistication; translate stochastic modeling, external data, and new analytics into sharper underwriting insight.

Your Background

  • Required

    • 5+ years of catastrophe modeling experience or risk management

    • Expertise with third-party catastrophe models (RMS, AIR, etc)

    • Expert level knowledge of natural weather perils

    • Strong technical, analytical, and communication skills — both written and verbal — with ability to engage stakeholders, regulators, and leadership

    Preferred

    • You’re excited about combining your experience with best in class technology to develop new ways of identifying risk.

    • Experience with SQL, Python, R, or geospatial tools

    • Certified Catastrophe Risk Analyst (CCRA), Certified Specialist in Catastrophe Risk (CSCR), or Certified Catastrophe Risk Management Professional (CCRMP)

Compensation and Benefits

  • Compensation: Top of market salary + equity

  • Equity: Includes equity in a fast-growing company

  • Time Off: 3 weeks PTO + 6 federal holidays

  • Insurance: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA, FSA
