  • 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.
