The missions of a senior functional expert are varied and hinge upon the strengthening of regulatory and accounting requirements related to the supervision and monitoring of risk models. In this context, you will be responsible for conducting internal model reviews (validation of the modeling, backtesting, etc.) that have been developed by the Group’s modeling entities.
Your main missions will be:
.
.
The functional expert works on many different topics such as: retail or wholesale credit risk (PD models, CCF models, LGD models, stress tests…), market risk models (VaR/SVaR/FRTB, EEPE, CVA, SIMM, IRC/CRM...), models developed under the IFRS 9 framework, models developed to comply with US regulatory requirements.

o Stability of model outcomes;
o Benchmarking: model output vs output generated by comparable models or applications;
o Sensitivity analysis to test robustness.
