Description
My client are seeking a number of Credit Risk Analysts with experience in SAS.
SAS Base
SAS Data Integration Studio
SAS Platform Process Manager
SAS Base/SQL
This is a unique opportunity to play a major part in delivering a segment of a regulator-mandated change project changing accounting standards across the banking industry covering retail and commercial banking sectors.
Your focus will be on ensuring that the risk models used throughout my Client's retail and commercial banking businesses are fully compliant with the requirements of the new standard, while remaining compliant with regulatory requirements.
They are expecting a strong, practical understanding of model analytics. A background in model development would be ideal, but model validation would also be suitable, and a related, similarly quantitative role.
Experience in working with models in a retail and commercial banking environment is preferable. Given the nature of the task, a track record of contributing to large scale delivery programmes would be an advantage.
This is highly analytical work, and we'd expect that education to at least undergraduate degree level in a numerate subject will be necessary as well as experience in using SAS and mathematical modelling. An understanding of accounting standards would help to orientate you.
Your technical skills will only be part of your offering, however. You'll need good verbal and written communication skills; being able to influence both peers and colleagues at a senior level, and to produce excellent quality paperwork for your models, suitable for an audience made up of both Internal Committees and External Regulators.
