Why would you want to work for the credit risk modelling activities within this bank?
The credit risk modeling activities with respect to mortgages currently take place within the Retail Banking Portfolio Management team. In the course of 2021 the intention is to centralise these credit risk modelling activities within the Modelling & Data Analytics team of Risk Management. In that department currently the corporate credit risk modelling activities take place. The Retail Banking Portfolio Management team as well as the Modelling & Data Analytics team provide an open, positive and challenging environment via a broad range of activities and projects. The teams are responsible for the regulatory retail and corporate credit risk models, bank-wide stress testing, PD and LGD IFRS9 models, counterparty credit risk modeling (incl. EE, PFE and CVA/DVA), and have a leading role in the ongoing bank-wide transformational change programs. Within both teams, you will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact by playing a pivotal role in the implementation of the future model landscape and the redevelopment of the corporate and retail IRB framework.
