Are you ready to shape the future of model risk management in one of Australia’s leading financial institutions? At CommBank, we’re looking for a Data Scientist, AI & General Model Validation who applies deep technical expertise to ensure our models are robust, reliable, and ready for the future.
See yourself in our team:
You’ll be part of a newly established model validation capability focused on financial crime modelling. This team is responsible for validating a pipeline of models transitioning from traditional rule-based alerting to machine learning-driven approaches.
Working closely with stakeholders across Risk and Financial Crime, you’ll contribute to ensuring models are robust, compliant, and effective in identifying risk. The team operates in a highly collaborative environment and offers opportunities to work across different model types and use cases over time.
As a Data Scientist, you will contribute to the validation, development, and ongoing monitoring of machine learning models within the financial crime domain.
In the near term, your work will focus on validating machine learning models replacing rule-based systems, with broader exposure to AI use cases as the capability evolves.
We’re interested in hearing from people who have:
Strong programming skills and experience with tools like Python, R, SQL, Spark, TensorFlow, and PyTorch; familiarity with version control (GitHub )
CommBank is at the forefront of innovation in banking, embracing advanced analytics, machine learning and emerging AI capabilities to transform how we operate and serve our customers.
You’ll be part of a growing capability shaping how financial crime is detected and managed, with opportunities to expand into broader AI use cases as the roadmap evolves.
