AI Risk Analyst

As AI use cases rapidly expand across wealth management, the need for consistent, high-quality execution of model risk governance becomes critical. This role sits at the center of execution-supporting the AI Risk Lead in operationalizing model risk frameworks, ensuring every AI use case is properly assessed, documented, tracked, and remediated in alignment with enterprise Model Risk Management (MRM) standards. You will gain deep exposure to GenAI, machine learning, and agentic systems, while building expertise in how AI is governed within a regulated financial services environment. What will you do? 1. Execute Model Risk Lifecycle Activities Support the end-to-end model risk lifecycle, including: Intake and triage of AI use cases Model classification and tiering Coordination of governance stage gates (POC → pilot → validation readiness) Ensuring all required artifacts and documentation are complete prior to progression 2. Perform Model Risk Assessments Conduct structured model risk assessments, including: Model purpose and usage validation Data inputs, lineage, and sensitivity analysis Model complexity and explainability considerations Identification of key risks (e.g., bias, overfitting, hallucination, misuse) Documentation of findings in standardized templates for review by senior risk stakeholders 3. Support Model Documentation & Validation Readiness Prepare and maintain model documentation packages, including: Model design summaries Data sources and limitations Performance metrics and testing evidence Ensuring models meet enterprise MRM documentation standards prior to submission Coordinating with AI Engineering and Data Science teams to address documentation gaps 4. Track & Drive Model Findings Remediation Maintain a centralized model findings register, including validation findings, audit issues, and control gaps Track remediation progress across stakeholders (Engineering, Data, Product) Support evidence collection and packaging for formal closure with risk and audit teams Escalate risks or delays as appropriate 5. Monitor Model Inventory & Governance Status Maintain an up-to-date model inventory, including classification, tiering, and lifecycle stage (POC, pilot, validation, production) Track validation status and dependencies Support development of model risk dashboards and reporting 6. Support GenAI & Agent Risk Governance Assist in evaluating risks related to: Prompt design and testing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) data sources and grounding quality Agent workflows and decision boundaries Documentation of control approaches and limitations specific to GenAI systems 7. Enable Risk Processes & Tooling Support development and maintenance of risk assessment templates Assist with intake and triage workflows Contribute to findings tracking tools and reporting dashboards Identify opportunities to streamline and scale governance processes 8.
