2. You are an expert in quantitative capital modelling with experience in insurance risk (persistency and longevity risks) with operational risk an advantage.
3. Experience in leading the development of Internal Model governance policies and validation frameworks and, ideally, leading planning and coordination validation activity for major model change applications.
4. You are proactive and pragmatic, and are able to work autonomously and at pace to drive forward change.
