Job Description

The Manager, Model Risk will lead the second line oversight of model risk across the Bank, ensuring that models used for financial, market, and economic analysis are robust, fit-for-purpose, and compliant with internal governance and regulatory expectations. This role is critical in safeguarding the integrity of model-based decision-making and supporting the Bank’s broader risk management framework.

This role is ideal for a risk professional with strong delivery capability, stakeholder engagement skills, and a passion for enabling secure and resilient technology and data environments.

  • Develop and maintain the Model Risk Management Framework, policies, and procedures in line with relevant standards.

  • Provide second line challenge and oversight of model development, implementation, and performance monitoring.

  • Collaborate with model owners, developers, and internal audit to ensure effective model governance and lifecycle management.

  • Monitor regulatory developments (e.g. APS 117, FRTB, IFRS 9) and assess their impact on model risk practices.

  • Prepare and present model risk reports to senior management, risk committees, and the Board.

  • Support the development of model risk appetite and key risk indicators (KRIs).

  • Mentor staff and contribute to a culture of analytical excellence and continuous improvement.

Experience

  • 8+ years of experience in model risk, quantitative risk, or financial modelling within a financial institution or regulator.

  • Tertiary qualifications in a quantitative discipline (e.g. mathematics, statistics, finance, economics, actuarial science).

  • Strong understanding of model governance, validation techniques, and regulatory expectations.

  • Experience with financial risk models (e.g. VaR, stress testing, credit risk, IRRBB).

  • Excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.

  • Familiarity with APRA Prudential Standards (e.g. APS 113, APS 117).

  • Experience with programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB.

  • Prior experience in a central bank or regulatory environment.
