Asset Risk Senior Modeller

This Asset Risk Senior Modeller role sits in the Asset Risk Modelling Team, operating in a matrix way of working, responsible for delivering a strong model risk management framework, and ensuring all forecast models are robustly implemented, operated, enhanced and developed in conjunction with joint ownership for the outcomes and outputs with business SMEs.

A growing Financial Services regulated firm, based in London, provides a crucial offering in the automotive financing and insurance sector, helping to provide their customers with insurance and finance packages to suit their needs. Their success in the market is evident from excellent reviews, strong growth and UK coverage.

As the Asset Risk Senior Modeller you will proactively support and inform the delivery of the Asset Risk strategy in alignment with the needs of the wider business strategy. You will work with the Modelling Manager to oversee the operational delivery of the model risk management framework in Asset Risk, ensuring model health, reporting, processing, auditing and reporting requirements are met and provide steer and challenge to ensure improvements are approved and delivered.

You will take the lead and proactively engage with the critical thinking and operational activity needed for the accurate and timely delivery of the critical BAU requirements for all key models associated with residual value forecasting, maintenance spend, insurance, customer pricing, and economic capital. You will maintain a deep understanding of, and be responsible for the challenging of, the model components - design principles, use of data, assumptions, applied statistical and modelling techniques - for the BAU models, helping to create and deliver the effective communication required to bridge the gap between the models and Asset Risk deliverables.

You will take the lead and proactively engage with the critical thinking and activity required to deliver the strategic projects from the Modelling team, ensuring all deliverables and outcomes are jointly owned with business SMEs. You will work with the Modelling Lead to ensure the Modelling Team are as engaged with explaining and owning the outputs and outcomes as they are with operating and developing our models, and with the equivalent engagement from non-modelling teams.

You will proactively challenge the way we work, and feed into the Asset Risk Strategy roadmap, and support in ad hoc queries where possible. You will form collaborative relationships to ensure the Model Team deliverables (BAU and strategic projects) are effectively managed and delivered in line with a matrix way of working approach across the Asset Risk Operational Teams and fellow Asset Risk output owners.
