About our team

Meet the Model Monitoring and Performance team. Nordea are currently developing a suite of new, state-of-the-art IRB and IFRS9 models.

Our key stakeholders are model developers, model users in Business and Senior Management.

As the (Senior) Quantitative Risk Analyst in Model Monitoring and Performance, you’ll work with an inspiring, competent and creative group of professionals in an international environment.

• Communicating conclusions of your analysis to model developers and Senior Management – in reports and meetings.
• Developing, maintaining and operating the IRB and IFRS9 model performance monitoring frameworks.
• Assessing and verifying regulatory compliance in relation to models.
