A career in the Internal Audit Capital Markets team at National Bank, means using your quantitative expertise to challenge models and risk analytics that support trading, market risk and valuation control.

  • 10+ years relevant experience with exposure to Capital Markets
  • Strong risk and complex financial instrument valuation expertise (VaR, stress testing, sensitivities, P&L decomposition, pricing models)
  • 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
  • A curious, proactive mindset with strong ownership, independence and attention to detail
