The world is changing faster than ever and so are we

"Big data", "AI" and "machine learning" are not just buzz-words; they are part of our daily life. We have decades of data powering hundreds of models deployed across a multitude of systems that are crying out for smart talented team players who are results-oriented, have a broad understanding of best-in-class processes and relish the opportunity to help us turn our vision into reality. Are you ready to join the Winning Team not only building but actively managing the high-performing prediction and forecasting models behind automated risk-management decisions and forecasts that impact millions of customers and keep hundreds of $billions safe every single day?

In Model Operations, we are passionate about arming our stakeholders with the best data & tools possible so that they can build and run the best models possible.

We obsess over getting things done quickly and done right, the first time. We leverage a combination of business / technical consulting, collaborative development and verification / testing in our approaches.

We love working with people; both internally with our peers (across business strategy, risk & technology) and externally with vendors alike.

Getting models to market quickly is important but getting them "right" is even more so. That is where you come in.

What Are We Looking For?

  • A key primary contributor (i.e., a thought leader and a doer) who ensures that all
advanced risk prediction and forecasting models, models that need to be not only accurate and precise, but highly stable, explainable, compliant, secure, and useful are implemented and monitored/reported properly

  • A collaborative team player and owner who can prioritize projects and their own time to deliver the optimal balance of high value longrun results while remaining responsive to urgent and evershifting stakeholder needs
  • Manager of Quality Assurance / Control / Testing
  • Data Engineer / Testing Automation Lead
  • Senior Data Analyst

Make an Impact

In this role, you will lead the testing of data changes, models, and crucial reporting impacting not just our partners but the bank's quarterly financial filings both with investors and with the regulator.


You will collaborate on a regular basis with a wide range of stakeholders and internal partners including Model Owners (model developers), Technology & Data, and Project Teams.
