You will work as part of a team and will be individually responsible for the delivery of value associated with your projects.
• Conduct independent model validation of existing models for benchmarking, assessment, and gauging effectiveness. Determine aspects of model drift and related data drift for the purpose of model risk management (MRM) to both reduce risk and also find opportunities to drive new revenue growth and innovation. Apply deep expertise with AI/ML/GenAI model development, including hands-on experience with model building and model evaluation.
• Benchmark and potentially rebuild existing models as needed using updated data, and potentially newer, more modern and effective algorithms.
• Actively drive improvements in model monitoring activities, including methods for model registration, model metadata management, and conceptualizing approaches for related tools and techniques. Complete all responsibilities as outlined in the annual performance review and/or goal setting. Complete all special projects and other duties as assigned.
