**This is us. Where you matter.**
At Kiwibank, we’re driven by a powerful purpose - Kiwi making Kiwi better off. And we know we can only deliver on that by having strong foundations in place, like the models that guide our decisions, manage our risk, and shape our customer experience. That’s where you come in.

You’ll lead independent validation of a broad range of models, from risk models to customer and/or financial valuation models, to ensure they’re conceptually sound, accurate, and aligned with our internal standards and regulatory requirements. You’ll also support the Model Risk Lead and contribute to enterprise-wide model risk activities, with a big-picture view of how model risk is managed across the bank.

You’ll collaborate with model owners, provide risk insights, and help shape the frameworks that guide how model risk is managed across the bank.

**This is us. Where your expertise matters.**
At Kiwibank, we will help you build on your strengths and learn new skills, but in the meantime, we would love to hear from you if you have some of the following:

- Previous experience in a similar role with a background in banking or consulting, ideally with exposure to model risk or model validation.
- A relevant quantitative degree such as Statistics, Econometrics, Mathematics or similar.
- Skilled in programming languages like Python, R, SQL or SAS.
- A strong understanding of risk, financial and customer models.
- A good grasp of prudential and regulatory requirements.
- A collaborative mindset and comfort working across teams.
- Confidence in working with large datasets and presenting complex data in a clear, meaningful way to a variety of audiences.
