Work closely with appropriate product owners to deeply understand the business dynamics of our products
Develop and document models and non-model assumptions that translate those real-world dynamics into mathematical representations of behavior
Make and defend key tradeoffs between model accuracy and complexity, in line with the BSM team’s overall strategic objectives
Be aware of changes in product management strategy and maintain a perspective for when existing models conceptually diverge from their stated objective
Implement our forecasts in the cashflow engine, currently QRM, with special focuses on data extraction and aggregation of suites of feeder models and assumptions on loan prepays, deposit rates paid/offered, deposit balance retention, along with term structure model of interest rates and mortgage rate forecast
Perform model validation and ongoing monitoring in adherence to our risk framework
In cases where model performance degrades, perform appropriate research to identify root causes, and recommend then implement fixes to bring models back within compliance under proper model governance policy
Work closely with our BSM IRR team to ensure models are appropriately implemented for monthly production, especially in light of data changes, product changes and merger/acquisition activities
