  • Strong understanding of model risk management best practices (model lifecycle: development, implementation, validation, monitoring)
  • Regulatory literacy for model risk, including OSFI Guideline E‑23
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to synthesize and explain complex quantitative topics to non‑quant partners and senior management
  • Collaborative and confident in stakeholder communications of findings and remediation plans
