Title:Quantitative Analyst - NFR Analytics To design, develop, and deploy advanced analytical and quantitative solutions that strengthen Non‑Financial Risk (NFR) management across the organisation. This includes enabling proactive risk identification, measurement, monitoring, and decision‑making across areas such as financial crime analytics (Fraud and Anti Money Laundering), conduct risk, and model risk. The role combines data science, quantitative analytics, and risk expertise to deliver scalable, regulatory‑aligned solutions that enhance risk visibility and resilience. Job Responsibilities NFR Analytics and Risk Modelling Apply advanced statistical and machine learning techniques to identify patterns, anomalies, and emerging risks, and supporting the development of early warning indicators, key risk indicators (KRIs), and risk scoring models. Perform scenario analysis, stress testing, and trend analysis to proactively anticipate and manage potential risk exposures. Data Engineering and Risk Data Management Source, integrate and prepare both internal and external datasets, including incident data, control assessments, audit findings, and transactional signals, to support risk analytics initiatives. Ensure high standards of data quality, completeness, and traceability, enabling reliable and auditable risk insights. Build and structure datasets that are fit for advanced analytics and predictive modelling, while collaborating closely with technology teams to support the development and optimisation of scalable risk data pipelines. Risk Monitoring and Insight Generation Continuously monitor key risk indicators to identify emerging trends, anomalies, and potential areas of concern. Translate analytical outputs into clear, actionable insights that support risk, compliance, and broader business stakeholders in informed decision‑making. Develop and maintain dashboards and visualisations to enable real‑time visibility of risk exposure, and respond to ad hoc risk analysis requests and support investigations as required. Governance, Compliance and Risk Framework Alignment Ensure that all analytics activities are fully aligned with internal non‑financial risk (NFR) frameworks, policies, and governance standards. Support regulatory compliance by embedding relevant requirements—such as anti‑money laundering (AML) and conduct monitoring—into analytical processes where applicable. Comprehensive documentation of models, methodologies, assumptions, and data lineage to meet audit and regulatory expectations, while assisting in the timely remediation of findings arising from audit, model validation, or regulatory reviews. Business Engagement and Risk Advisory Actively engage with risk, compliance, audit, and business teams to understand key risk challenges and translate them into effective, data‑driven analytical solutions. Bridge the gap between technical analysis and risk management decision‑making, ensuring that insights are both meaningful and actionable. Contribute to shaping risk strategy through informed analytical input, while supporting risk committees, forums, and reporting processes.
