Join us in this role where you’ll play a key role in setting up the validation function, ensuring our risk models meet the highest standards while delivering insights that support sound decision-making.

Welcome to Group Risk management
We are building a dedicated Model Validation team within Group Risk management.  

Where together with your colleagues, you will have a unique opportunity to help shape the team, tasks, products and our ways of working in the process of building the validation function and possibly apply experience from other risk areas to models focused on energy markets. Together, we’ll apply our analytical and detective skills to the group’s risk models to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements while delivering value-adding reporting.

As a team, we aim to combine deep risk expertise and curiosity with room for different approaches and a collaborative and inclusive team-player culture. We value open dialogue and take pride in building a strong second line of defence together.

You’ll play an important role in:

• conducting thorough validation of risk models to ensure compliance with regulatory and internal standards
• analysing market, counterparty, and credit risk models to identify vulnerabilities and improvement areas
• managing validation projects and engaging stakeholders to ensure timely, transparent delivery
• developing clear, stakeholder-oriented reports that translate model risk into actionable insights
• collaborating with model owners and users to incorporate feedback and enhance validation processes
• using coding skills, preferably in Python, to automate validation and monitoring workflows.

To succeed in the role, you:

• hold a degree in finance, economics, physics, data science, engineering, or equivalent experience
• have experience in model validation within the financial sector, energy markets, or consultancy
• understand risk modelling, including market, counterparty, or credit risk
• demonstrate strong project and stakeholder management skills
• are proficient in coding, preferably in Python
• communicate clearly and effectively across diverse audiences.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
