Why This Role Matters
We’re part of the Financial Risk, Insight and Quantification (FinRI&Q) area within Risk Science, the Analytics and Insights pillar, where deep financial risk expertise meets regulatory responsibility. Our team is responsible for executing models and delivering accurate, high-quality reporting that underpins and shapes critical business decisions.
Our mission for 2026 is clear:
Deliver a best-in-class operational playbook for Impairment analytics and Financial and Regulatory reporting
Be the driving force in shaping and delivering the strategy for data, technology, and models that underpin financial risk.
You’ll work closely with teams across Risk Science, including Model Development, Model Governance and Strategy, and the Prudential and Analytics Lab, to turn strategy into reality. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and enjoy solving complex problems, this role offers the perfect opportunity to grow and make a real difference.
What You’ll Bring to the Role
This is more than just data analysis, it’s about shaping the insights that drive strategic decisions and create meaningful change for our customers. Your work will ensure we deliver best-in-class financial and regulatory analytics, helping the Bank stay resilient and forward-thinking.
As an experienced data analyst, you’ll join a team that’s transforming the way we manage and use data for financial and regulatory reporting. Every day, you’ll make an impact by:
Delivering critical financial and regulatory reports across Capital and Impairment, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Driving continuous improvement, challenging existing processes and finding smarter, more efficient ways of working.
Leading strategic change, aligning data initiatives with the Bank’s long-term goals.
Providing expert insight, mitigating risks and ensuring systems, processes, and controls are robust and future-ready.
Collaborating across Risk and Finance, working with diverse teams to deliver cohesive analytics and innovative solutions.
What We’re Looking For
Technical Expertise: Strong proficiency in Python, SQL, and SAS, with a solid understanding of collaborative tools such as GitHub, Jira, and Confluence.
Knowledge: Familiarity with Provisioning, Capital, and Regulatory Reporting frameworks is essential. The ability to challenge and validate models will set you apart.
Analytical Mindset: Highly detail-oriented with a passion for accuracy and problem-solving. Experience in credit risk, economic principles, forecasting, and statistical methods is a strong advantage.
Adaptability and Drive: Comfortable working independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. You’ll be proactive, self-motivated, and always looking for ways to improve processes.
Control and Governance: Committed to maintaining a robust control environment and ensuring quality in everything you do.
Communication Skills: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly and confidently to collaborators at all levels.
It’s not essential, but experience in Google Cloud, credit risk, or capital and impairment reporting would be desirable.
