  • Support reviews by BaFin, the Deutsche Bundesbank and the internal audit department, as well as regulatory inspections.

  • 3–5 years’ professional experience in the banking or asset management sector in the areas of model validation, model risk management, or other fields related to quantitative risk management.
  • A completed degree in quantitative disciplines (e.g. mathematics, statistics, econometrics, computer science, physics) or equivalent experience.
  • In-depth understanding of regulatory requirements for model management, including MaRisk, CRR, KWG as well as guidelines from the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Central Bank (ECB).
  • Proficiency in Python (preferred) and/or R; experience in version control, reproducible analysis and data visualisation.
  • Ability to assess situations independently and maintain objectivity when communicating with model owners and stakeholders.
