Model Risk Domain Partner

At Rabobank, models are the backbone of our digital transformation, regulatory compliance, and key banking processes such as client due diligence, pricing, and stress testing. They empower us to achieve more with less: more lending with less capital and enhanced client experiences. However, models inherently carry risks.

This is where Model Risk Management (MRM) plays a key role in ensuring the bank makes effective use of the models and advance analytics, enabling accurate decision-making, regulatory compliance, and protection against financial and reputational losses. MRM ensures across the entire bank that models are fit for purpose, accurate, used as intended and meet both internal and external expectations through validation activities, business advisory and mature model risk governance and risk oversight. MRM is organised into one Model Risk Strategy (MRS) domain for overarching model risk governance and oversight, and three portfolio domains (Non-Financial, Core, and Financial Markets & Treasury) to ensure proper model risk management within each area.

In a world of rapid technological advancement, evolving regulations, and shifting market dynamics, scalable and sustainable operations are critical.
