About the Role
As a Senior Analyst – Quantitative Modelling, you will play a key role in supporting credit risk model development, monitoring, and the migration of modelling infrastructure into modern cloud-based environments. You will be responsible for leading the development and ongoing performance management of a range of credit risk models, including Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), Exposure at Default (EAD), scorecards, and rating models, ensuring they are robust, fit-for-purpose, and analytically sound.
You will ensure that all models meet regulatory and internal governance requirements, including compliance with frameworks such as IFRS 9, Basel, and APRA standards. This role requires strong judgement and attention to detail, as you will contribute to regulatory submissions and actively engage in audit and assurance reviews, clearly articulating model methodologies, assumptions, and outcomes to internal and external stakeholders.
Collaboration is central to this role. You will work closely with stakeholders across risk, finance, and business units to effectively embed credit risk models into decision-making processes. Your ability to translate complex quantitative concepts into practical insights will be critical to enabling informed business outcomes.
In addition, you will build and maintain automated tools and dashboards to monitor model performance and support reporting within a cloud environment. You will also provide mentorship to junior team members, fostering capability uplift and knowledge sharing across the team while contributing to a strong and collaborative modelling culture.
About You
You bring a strong understanding of credit risk modelling techniques and the regulatory frameworks that underpin them, including IFRS 9, Basel, and APRA requirements. You have hands-on experience working with quantitative models and are comfortable using programming languages such as Python, R, SAS, and SQL to analyse data, develop models, and generate insights. You also hold a bachelor or postgraduate degree in a quantitative discipline such as Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Econometrics, Actuarial Science, or Engineering.
You are an effective communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into clear and compelling insights for both technical and non-technical audiences. You have intermediate to advanced data visualisation and storytelling skills, using tools such as R, Python, or Power BI to communicate model performance, drivers, and implications in a meaningful way.
You are passionate about mentoring others and driving innovation in risk analytics. You are enthusiastic about modernising modelling workflows by building and migrating tools and processes to scalable, cloud-based analytics platforms such as Databricks. Experience with Azure DevOps and Databricks is highly regarded, along with a collaborative mindset and a desire to continuously improve how risk models are developed, governed, and embedded in decision-making.
