About The Role

The role is focused on independent model challenge, EMIR regulatory testing and controls across margin, default fund, and risk frameworks.

- Identify weaknesses and propose improvements, recalibration, or redesign
- Contribute to structured reviews of new models, parameter changes, and new business initiatives
EMIR Tests & Quantitative Validation Activities
- Execute and enhance EMIR-mandated tests (Backtesting, Sensitivity Analysis, Reverse Stress Testing)
- Analyse results with a critical view on model performance, stability, and procyclicality
- Support interpretation of outcomes and escalation of key findings
- Contribute to continuous improvement of testing frameworks and methodologies
Controls & Risk Monitoring
- Design and perform quantitative controls on margin, default fund, and key risk metrics
- Monitor consistency, stability, and risk sensitivity of model outputs
- Develop anomaly detection approaches (including data-driven or ML-based techniques)
- Investigate outliers and perform deep-div
