Your Opportunity Financial institutions face a period of unprecedented regulatory change in terms of the number of new initiatives, their complexity and the interplay between different regulations. Against this backdrop Deloitte has created a Credit Risk Modelling team to assist clients in developing, validating and implementing credit risk models. This team assists financial institutions across the Model Risk Management lifecycle and is widely regarded in the market place as the leading Credit Risk Modelling team. The primary objective our team is to design, build and implement credit risk models within the financial services industry, advising and influencing clients on how best to deliver value in the face of an ever increasing and complex regulatory agenda. In response to the growing demand for the team's services from internal and external clients, we are looking for up to four Assistant Managers or Managers to join us to drive forward the credit risk model execution and implementation agenda.
