A hands-on model risk specialist to help mature a model and data governance program for AML, sanctions, and fraud controls, moving from manual to automated GRC processes.
Responsibilities
- Assess AML, sanctions screening and fraud/scam detection models for design, performance, and control gaps, including thresholds, alert logic, tuning, and above- and below-the-line testing.
- Help define the governance roadmap: how model launches feed a GRC tool, and how inventory, risk tiering, control self-assessments, validation, monitoring, and issue tracking connect.
- Plan independent validation and monitoring for first-line fraud and risk models that have not had formal governance, starting with the highest-risk models.
- Update model and data governance frameworks to cover AI and ML models, including automated decisioning such as alert triage and auto-closure.
- Work with engineering and data science teams across time zones to translate governance requirements into clear, testable specifications.
