Help shape Deloitte's statistical modelling capability across credit risk, model validation and AI in financial services.
Tackle big issues like cyber, trust, resilience and digital transformation
Mentoring, coaching and leadership programs to help you make an impact that matters
This is a Senior Manager opportunity in the Sydney team to lead complex statistical modelling work that helps major financial institutions make better credit risk and AI-driven decisions.
What will your typical day look like?
In this role, you'll lead statistical modelling, validation and performance assessment across credit risk use cases including PD, LGD and EAD. That could mean testing model design, interrogating large and complex datasets, or assessing calibration, discrimination, stability, robustness, uncertainty and bias.
A big part of your impact will come from helping clients build confidence in the models they rely on for lending, provisioning, capital and broader risk management. You'll also review machine learning and AI models used in financial decision-making, bringing a clear lens to explainability, monitoring and responsible use.
Working closely with clients, internal stakeholders and junior team members, you'll guide high-quality delivery while helping grow Deloitte's capability in this space. The work is technically deep, commercially relevant and varied enough to keep you learning as the market continues to evolve.
About the team
Deloitte's Assurance practice helps clients build confidence in their systems, models and decision-making. Within that, this team applies statistical analysis, quantitative modelling and model assessment to support financial institutions with traditional credit risk models as well as emerging AI-enabled use cases. It's a space where strong technical thinking, practical industry context and growing demand for responsible AI all come together.

You may have all or some of the following skills/experiences:
Experience in statistical modelling, data analysis, model testing and interpreting quantitative results
Background in credit risk, financial risk or another complex modelling environment
Hands-on experience with PD, LGD and EAD model development, review or validation
Capability in Python, R, SAS, SQL or similar analytical tools
Strong understanding of model performance measurement, statistical testing approaches and model limitations
Confidence explaining complex statistical concepts and findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
Experience leading projects, mentoring team members and maintaining quality across deliverables
