Overview
In an ever-more complex world, financial crime risks is the biggest the risk to global economy, it has
catastrophic impact on businesses, communities, and individuals. The techniques used by criminals are getting sophisticated, and so is the need for innovation, and sophistication of the tools and models used to identify and prevent such crime. We are looking for a candidate to solve “hard to solve” problems associated with financial crimes and fraud detection. You will be tasked to validate the models used to detect fraudulent, suspicious behavior, or transactions. This will involve good understanding of regular expression, concept search, phonetics, behavioral economics, formal language, network theory, set theory, combinatorics, and optimization.
Job Duties:
- You will be responsible for validating anti-financial crime (AFC) models provide effective challenge to weed out model risk issues.
- Write model validation reports and develop model validation automation libraries in R or Python
- Develop independent challenger and benchmark models
- Define the validation scope, and maintain model validation key operating procedures
- Run workshops with the 1st line of defense and help run quality assurance model validation reports
