There is also an expectation to continually elevate the model development process to a better state through new model approaches.

These models/approaches are used throughout the bank to determine Basel IRB Regulatory Capital, appropriate levels of Economic Capital, appropriate reserves as in Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), and loan pricing levels that are commensurate with the risk inherent in transactions.

  • Coordinate the development, maintenance and enhancement of econometric models for various R&D projects, such as macro-economic linkage models and stress testing methodologies.
  • Work on various ad hoc quantitative, modeling, and programming assignments using SAS, Matlab and SQL.


The successful candidate will be someone who can operate effectively in a diverse environment, serving and fulfilling the analytical needs within the banking organization. He or she will exhibit excellent people and communication skills to leverage the capabilities of the business partners and associates along with the confidence to effectively integrate and achieve accurate andBaselcompliant models.
