• development/internal validation of models under Basel pillar II (economic capital/stress testing);

• database analysis (descriptive statistics – i.e. distribution analysis, mean, variance, etc.);
• development of statistical models (i.e. inferential statistics: regression analysis, discriminant analysis, etc.).

The ideal candidate has:

• two to three years of credit risk management experience, ideally gained with specialised consulting companies or top-tier banking or financial institutions;

You are a problem solver and never lose sight of your goals. You have strong interpersonal skills and are a team player. Your motivation and enthusiasm inspire confidence and empower change. You enjoy taking on challenges and are comfortable in fast-changing situations where your leadership abilities make the difference.

Businesses demand a broad mix of  advisory services  as they seek to address the myriad challenges and opportunities presented by a persistently volatile and complex economic environment.
