Head of Risk Modelling recruitment
We are looking for a Head of Risk Modelling to join a large financial institution based in Perth, WA. In times of economic uncertainty, Risk management is at the forefront of the bank's strategy, thus making this a key position within the bank.
The Risk Modelling team is responsible for the development, implementation and maintenance of regulatory (Basel II) credit risk models across the retail, SME and commercial lending businesses. Your job would include oversight of a team of 3 Senior Managers, whose responsibilities vary from model development (on a portfolio basis) including stress testing and performance reviews, to model solutions, which would include the embedding of best practice in regards to model methodology and development. On top of this, you would be required to manage a number of high level relationships within the various lines of business.
To be successful in this role you would need-
- Strong technical experience in the area of credit risk modelling, including a strong understanding of Basel II and other regulatory requirements
- Experience leading a team of Senior Managers, many of whom are highly qualified and technical
- A degree in a quantitative subject i.e. commerce, econometrics, statistics, mathematics- a Masters or PHD would be highly desirable, but not essential
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills, as well as exposure to 'conflict management'
- Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal
- Previous technical experience in SAS would be highly desirable
This is a fantastic opportunity to work for a leading Australian bank and would suit a candidate either looking to make the step up into a more visible role or for someone looking to enjoy the easier life of Perth.
