Modelling and validation specialist

Closer to a modelling-heavy IC role than capital/risk strategy—the ad emphasizes model assurance and development rather than enterprise risk ownership.

The hybrid role requires three office days per week and pays $160,000-$180,000, plus a discretionary 20% bonus target.
