- Technical proficiency in Python, SAS, and SQL for data handling, analysis and model implementation.
- Strong working knowledge of PD, LGD or EAD methodologies.

- An analytical mindset and structured approach to technical delivery and documentation.
Responsibilities include:
- Leading the delivery of IRB model build or validation projects for major clients.
- Engaging with client stakeholders to define scope, priorities and risks.
- Performing robust documentation and clearly communicating technical findings.
- Supporting and challenging assumptions to uphold best practice.
- Representing the consultancy with confidence and professionalism in client-facing roles.
