We use our statistics, software engineering, and business expertise to drive the best outcomes in both Risk Management and the Enterprise.

• Maintain the existing suite of models and tools for accuracy, compliance, and user support
• Manage model development project timelines against the needs and capacity of the team
• Understand technical issues in econometric and statistical modeling and apply these skills toward developing models and assessing model risks and opportunities
• Effectively communicate technical subject matter to individuals from various backgrounds both verbally and through written materials
• Identify opportunities to apply quantitative methods and automation solutions to improve business performance and process efficiencies

Expertise in quantitative analysis is central to our success in all markets. Our modelers thrive in a culture of mutual respect, excellence and innovation.

Successful candidates would possess:

• Strong understanding of quantitative analysis methods in relation to financial institutions
• Demonstrated track-record in statistical-learning and econometric analysis
• Desire to remain on the leading edge of analytical technology with a passion for the newest and most innovative tools
• Consulting experience
• Strong coding skills in R or Python and drive to create efficient, accurate, and maintainable code with best practices
• Ability to clearly communicate modeling results to a wide range of audiences and maintain high standards of documentation
