  • Develop comprehensive reports summarizing key observations, conclusions, and recommendations in support of completed model validations.

  • Ensure model validations are planned and completed in accordance with timelines established in the Enterprise Model Risk policy based on each model’s materiality and uncertainty rating.

What do you need to succeed?

  • 3 + years of model development or model validation experience, preferably related to credit risk models used within the financial services industry.

  • Hands-on experience with artificial intelligence / machine learning modeling techniques (deep learning, XGboost) as well as logistic regression modeling techniques.

  • Comfortable working with large data sets. Solid understanding of data extraction and data mining, proficiency in SQL.

  • Strategic thinker with superior interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills and with strong consensus-building skills.

  • Post graduate degree in a quantitative field of study (i.e. PhD, Master of Mathematical Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Data Science or comparable).

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Knowledge of Canadian retail banking products and processes. A strong understanding of retail credit risk modeling theories, principles and industry best practices.

  • A strong understanding of RBC’s policies, procedures, systems, risk appetite, risk tolerance, strategies and the overall role of risk management within RBC is a definite asset.

  • Experience with Hadoop, Spark, object storage solutions. Familiar with Tableau or other data visualization tools. Experience with version control tools (git).

What’s in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, thinking progressively to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper.
