Vacant job

Job ID: 3083

We are looking for a Senior/Quantitative Analyst to the EAD Models team. The role is permanent and can be based in Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, or Warsaw. The seniority of the role and remuneration will depend on the level of the candidate’s experience in the relevant fields.

The role combines advanced modeling, practical implementation of the models in our IT infrastructure, and a sound understanding of banking. You need to enjoy working with large datasets, solve problems, and find new and innovative solutions.

About our team

Welcome to EAD Models where we are responsible for developing and maintaining EAD models under IRB. We strive to develop models that help the business in their decisions and comply with relevant regulatory environments across multiple countries.

We add value by accurately estimating the risk parameters for Nordea’s customers. As the Senior Quantitative Risk Analyst, you will play a valuable role in developing, maintaining, and using models which accurately estimate Nordea customers’ credit risk. You will join an international team with a variety of backgrounds and skills. We work closely with other teams across the bank which provides you with excellent opportunities for personal and professional development.

Given the nature of our data and regulatory requirements, we use advanced modeling techniques and big data technology. In addition to using leading techniques for modeling and data, the team’s role is general risk governance within credit risk modeling and methodology, including management of models, model implementation, data quality, documentation, and model use.

Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions – and that we imagine you share with us.

Main responsibilities in this role:

• Work on a subset of model lifecycle related activities like data pipeline, data quality work, development, documentation, implementation, maintenance, monitoring, requirement setting, and user acceptance tests within credit and impairment models
• Contribute to methodological standards, modeling tools, coding practices, and continuous improvement of the modeling framework
• Lead or drive projects within the IRB models
• Present & justify analyses, results, and their implications to stakeholders, either through periodic activities or through ad-hoc requests
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams within Risk Models or across Nordea
• Provide technical guidance, review the work of other modelers, and support setting modeling strategy and priorities
• Stay informed on regulatory developments and industry practices

Who you are

This is the right role for you if you:

• Are curious, enjoy learning, and are excited about bringing your ideas to the table
• Take ownership of the task but enjoy collaboration with others
• Are confident in advanced quantitative modeling and eager to challenge ideas constructively
• Communicate complex statistical or methodological concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Enjoy working with large datasets and navigate well in tools used to analyze them
• Work well in a dynamic environment with varying workload
• Are keen to find solutions and not only raise concerns
• Can see the big picture but know that the devil is in the details. You are good at judging which details require extra attention
• Are committed to delivering high-quality work

Your background and skills include:

• A Master's or PhD in a quantitative field, for instance economics, engineering, business, mathematics, science, statistics, finance, or similar
• Professional experience working with data & modeling and conducting complex data analysis
• Experience with large volumes of data and programming - We use mainly Python/SQL
• Solid understanding of regulatory requirements related to IRB or IFRS9
• Prior experience in credit risk, IRB, or IFRS9
