About the Role
What if your deep knowledge of credit risk frameworks could directly influence how financial institutions assess, validate, and improve their most critical models? We're looking for a Senior Credit Risk Modeler to evaluate credit scoring models, validate PD/LGD/EAD methodologies, and ensure regulatory alignment across risk-modeling workflows.
What You'll Do
- Analyze credit risk models and rigorously validate their underlying assumptions
- Review PD (Probability of Default), LGD (Loss Given Default), and EAD (Exposure at Default) frameworks for accuracy and completeness
- Identify inconsistencies in risk scoring logic, segmentation criteria, and model architecture
- Summarize model performance and pinpoint areas requiring recalibration or redesign
- Assess regulatory alignment and evaluate the quality of model documentation
- Support recurring reviews of credit risk datasets and scoring outputs
Who You Are
- Must-Have:
- Solid background in credit risk modeling, quantitative finance, or applied statistics
- Deep, hands-on understanding of PD/LGD/EAD metrics and regulatory risk concepts
- Strong analytical thinking with the ability to communicate findings clearly in writing
- Prominent ability to work independently and deliver structured, high-quality assessments
- Nice to Have:
- Experience working with or within financial institutions, banks, or lending platforms
- Familiarity with Basel II/III, IFRS 9, or other regulatory credit risk frameworks
- Background in model validation, model risk management, or internal audit functions
Why Join Us
- Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, from anywhere
- Engage with complex, intellectually stimulating credit risk challenges
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, ongoing project work
- Contribute expertise that directly shapes the quality and integrity of risk models
- Potential for recurring engagements as new model validation cycles launch
