Strong knowledge of statistical methods and contemporary modelling techniques.
Proven ability to code in Python, R, or SAS.
Track record in managing projects or workstreams in a consulting or banking environment.

Code that’s efficient, documented, and scalable.

A dynamic role at the frontier of financial modelling and advisory.
Exposure to complex credit risk environments and global modelling practices.
A supportive team culture focused on mentorship and continuous improvement.
Opportunities to work across financial institutions of every scale—from startups to systemic banks.
