Senior Data Scientist Credit ModellingRISK HUB – BNP Paribas Group – RISK Iberian Hub Madrid is a transversal platform covering credit risk, market risk, operational risk and data protection. It provides a wide range of services to RISK teams, from consulting and cyber security through data analysis, modelling or artificial intelligence.
About the jobWant to help shape the bank of tomorrow today? How can the bank leverage data to assess credit risk on its portfolio of existing and new clients? Risk assessment encompasses various elements: how likely is it that a client will not be able to comply with the contractual requirements of his loan? What will be the client's outstanding balance in such a situation? What loss is the bank expected to suffer if a client is no longer able to repay a loan?
As a member of the RISK Models team, you will join a team of experts whose goal is to answer these questions through the development of statistical or expert models.
By analysing historical data and working together with the business lines, IT department, and modelling experts, the team creates tools that help the bank calculate the capital requirements for its credit exposure, the risk component of the credit price, or that contribute to the approval process of a new credit.
