About us

Analytium is a boutique UK data and analytics consultancy - 14 people, 150 projects delivered for 50 clients. We are embedded in a UK tier-one bank, modernising one of the largest SAS estates in the country, because we build our own accelerators and we work AI-first.

Why this role exists

Banks are increasingly asking us a harder question than "can you migrate this" - they are asking "can you make our modelling environment governed, repeatable and defensible". This role focuses primarily on the ungoverned script estate and bringing governance to it. That means walking into a credit risk estate nobody fully understands and producing conclusions that survive a model validation review. The person will do estate discovery, own lineage and evidence capture, bring model lifecycle discipline, industrialise data pipelines, evidence rationalisation decisions so they survive audit, and work directly with credit risk, modelling and model risk stakeholders.

• Credit risk modelling knowledge including IFRS 9, IRB, PD, LGD, EAD, capital, stress testing, or model monitoring.
