    • Raise the bar on methodologies and assumptions by challenging practices, identifying areas of potential risk and driving for meaningful improvements.

    • Present clear actionable findings to model owners, senior leaders, and risk committees.

  • Collaboration and Thought Leadership

The experience you will bring:

  • 8+ years of experience with an FSA designation. Professional certifications such as CFA, FRM, CAIA, or PRM are a plus.
