As an Audit Manager, you are together with quantitative model experts, globally responsible for performing audits and audit strategies on model-related matters, and thereby adding value to the organisation. Awareness of model risk management, as well as a strong understanding of internal audit processes and the regulatory risk environment, are key. You are involved in multiple (complex) audits at the same time and deliver key messages to auditees and senior management. In addition, stakeholder interaction and continuous learning is crucial to stay ahead. If required, you also act as Audit Lead.
You assist the audit team in applying well-known validation and test techniques for both regulatory (e.g. AIRB, VaR/Expected Shortfall) and non-regulatory models (e.g. credit decision, pricing/valuation, IFRS, machine learning). Your main counterparts within the organization are working in model risk management, model development, model validation, model measurement, and analytics departments. You will challenge them towards developing industry best practices and new modelling techniques.
