• run analyses on implementations to assess their correctness and stability
• carry out and document independent model validation in line with regulatory
• requirements and internal standards
• interact and discuss with model users, developers, senior owners and governance bodies

You will interface with key stakeholders, US regulators and internal audit to discuss justification and reasoning behind validation and review findings.
