  • 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
