- Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) methodologies
- Credit risk modelling and model implementation
- Basel / regulatory capital

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Particularly Relevant Background
Experience within private banking, wealth management, retail banking or mortgage lending would be highly relevant, particularly for individuals who have worked with mortgage / secured lending portfolios and credit risk models. Will also consider Wholesale Banking background.
For the more senior positions, we are particularly interested in candidates who have previously owned AIRB/IRB workstreams or delivered major credit risk transformation programmes, with the ability to operate between business, risk, data and technology teams.
Senior Workstream Leads
The Workstream Lead positions will suit individuals who can take ownership of significant areas of an AIRB / IRB programme, managing delivery across multiple stakeholders and ensuring that technical, regulatory and business requirements are translated into an executable programme of work.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience leading areas such as:
- Basel / Regulatory Capital
- AIRB / IRB implementation
- Credit Risk Data
- Credit Risk Models
- Model Governance
- Data Architecture / Data Transformation
- Credit Risk Technology
- Mortgage / Secured Lending Credit Risk

AVP Business Analyst / Architect
The AVP-level opportunity will suit an experienced Business Analyst, Solution Architect or Business Architect with deep Credit Risk and AIRB/IRB knowledge.
You will need to be comfortable operating at both a strategic and technical level, translating complex credit risk and regulatory requirements into target operating models, processes, data requirements and technology solutions.
This is not a generic BA or architecture position, deep Credit Risk and AIRB/IRB knowledge is essential.
Who Should Apply?
We would be particularly interested in speaking with professionals coming from:
- Major UK / international banks
- Private banks
- Retail / mortgage banks
- Investment banks
- Risk consultancies
- Big Four / professional services firms
- Credit risk transformation programmes
- Regulatory capital / Basel programmes
- IRB / AIRB model development or implementation environments
Candidates must be able to demonstrate hands-on experience of AIRB/IRB or significant technical Credit Risk modelling / regulatory capital exposure.
If your background is primarily generic Business Analysis, Project Management or Data Analysis without meaningful Credit Risk / IRB exposure, these opportunities are unlikely to be suitable.
Interested?
We are managing these opportunities on a discreet basis on behalf of a leading international financial institution.
If you have strong AIRB / IRB, Credit Risk, Basel, Model, Data or Credit Risk Transformation experience and would be interested in discussing the programme, please get in touch for further details.
To avoid disappointment please only apply if you have relevant background and have the right to work in the UK.
