Head of Model Risk Oversight

Our take: The real work here is building an independent model risk oversight function from scratch, validating the credit, fraud and AI models that run a new European bank and challenging their makers with rigour.

If you love pulling apart a credit model or an AI system to see whether it truly holds up, this is a rare chance to build the whole oversight function from a blank page for a newly authorised European bank. You will set the standards, challenge sharp quant teams with evidence rather than opinion, and carry your findings all the way to the board. It suits someone who finds deep satisfaction in getting the maths and the governance genuinely right, not just signed off.
