Job Description

  • Lead independent validation of Group-wide models across capital, liquidity, conduct, and financial crime risks
  • Work with senior stakeholders to uplift model risk practices and governance across the bank
  • Sydney-based preferred, with flexibility to consider candidates in Melbourne

What's the role?
Join Westpac's Model Risk team as a manager focused on Enterprise models. This role is within the independent validation team, providing oversight and challenge across a broad range of Group-wide models including capital, funding, liquidity, operational, conduct, compliance, and financial crime risks.

You'll lead validations, guide junior team members, and help uplift model risk management practices across the bank.

What do I need?
We're looking for someone who brings:

  • Significant experience in model validation or development, ideally across multiple risk classes including capital, liquidity, and financial crime
  • Strong programming skills (e.g. SAS, SQL, R, Python) and the ability to interpret regulatory standards, financial statements, and Pillar III reports
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex concepts and influence non-technical and senior stakeholders
  • Proven ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality outcomes with minimal supervision
  • Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills, with a collaborative and constructive approach to challenge
  • Experience mentoring junior team members and contributing to the uplift of model risk practices, including interest in AI model validation

Why join us?
We're obsessed with becoming our customers #1 banking partner for life and we're looking for people who are passionate about helping us achieve that goal. In return we're committed to making Westpac the best place to work in the country. Here are just a few of the ways we're already doing that:
