With strong quantitative and analytical skills, rich data experience, and knowledge of IFRS-9 and regulatory requirements, you will help strengthen NBC’s credit risk management by building efficient, robust risk processes and delivering insightful analysis to senior management.

Your role:

• Lead the development of risk processes to support new product launching, acquisitions, new portfolio integration, data migration and risk reporting.
• Manage and execute IFRS-9 reporting processes to deliver timely and accurate ECL results.
• Analyze IFRS-9 ECL results in depth, identify key drivers of ECL movements, and prepare materials for stakeholders, external auditors, and regulators.

As part of the IFRS-9 & Credit Risk Analytics sector, you will join a team of 25 colleagues and report to the Senior Director. Our team stands out for its expertise in model development, model implementation, and risk reporting across IFRS-9, stress testing, and capital. As some processes support the Bank’s month-end and quarter-end public and regulatory reporting, the team occasionally works under tight deadlines and pressure.

We offer a broad range of development opportunities, including coaching, hands-on learning, training courses, and collaboration with colleagues who bring diverse expertise in data analytics, model development, risk programming, and presentations to senior management.

Prerequisites:

• Hold a master’s degree in a relevant field such as financial engineering, finance, statistics, mathematics, economics, computer science, or data science.
• Have 3 - 5 years of professional experience in risk management; previous risk reporting in Canada and people management experience is an asset.
• Have hands-on experience managing, reconciling, and interpreting large and complex enterprise-level data sets; demonstrate strong attention to details.
• Demonstrate ability to work under pressure and tight deadline, exceptional critical thinking skills and learning skills, and knowledge of IFRS-9 and regulatory requirements.
• Have hands-on experience with SAS/SQL, Python, Microsoft Excel, and VBA.
• Have completed or be progressing toward the CFA, FRM, or SAS certification; knowledge of artificial intelligence or machine learning is an asset.
