Job Expectations :
MRM serves as the second line of defense to ensure the integrity of Wells Fargo’s model inventory. A Senior Quantitative Analytics Specialist is an individual contributor role. This position will focus primarily on Mortgage, Credit and Market Risk model validations. However, frequent special projects and seasonal requirements for CCAR validations will provide a variety of modeling contexts throughout each year. A validation project typically begins and ends with the analyst, requiring broad and continuous attention to detail, comprehensive documentation, and interactions with developers. Meetings with auditors and regulators will require recall of validation details.
A Senior Quantitative Analytics Specialist should have a deep academic knowledge, broad based approach to solutioning business problems. He/she should approach the problem agnostic of analytic technique, tool or process. Ability to think outside the box and provide ensemble solutions should set them apart to be a high performing team member
