Madrid

Our take: The real work here is standing as the independent quantitative check on a new European bank's models, building the framework, validating the logic, and telling first-line teams the true thing with rigour.

If you love pulling apart a model to see whether its logic actually holds, and you get quiet satisfaction from building a governance framework from a blank page, this is your seat. You will be the independent voice that tells credit, fraud and capital models the truth, standing up rigorous, evidence-based challenge to smart first-line teams while a new European bank scales around you. It suits someone who is deeply quantitative, unafraid to say the hard true thing kindly, and genuinely curious about using AI tools to make risk work sharper.
