JPMorganChase is a leading global financial services firm. Within Risk Management and Compliance, we help keep the firm strong and resilient by anticipating emerging risks and delivering best-in-class analytics.
As an Associate in Wholesale Credit Risk Quantitative Research, you will support the development and maintenance of credit risk models used in firmwide stress testing and loss forecasting frameworks, including CCAR, CECL, and IFRS 9. You will work with large-scale financial and macroeconomic datasets and partner with model risk governance/review, technology, data, finance, and lines of business stakeholders to deliver well-controlled, production-ready solutions. The position requires the knowledge/experience in quantitative modeling, preferably in wholesale credit risk models such as probability of default (PD), loss given default(LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) models.
Job Responsibilities

- Experience working with large datasets (especially panel/time-series) and strong data analysis skills
- Hands on Python programming
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and ability to manage multiple workstreams
- Experience producing technical documentation (including for governance/review)
Preferred Qualifications
- Exposure to wholesale credit risk and/or credit risk modeling (PD/LGD/EAD modeling strongly preferred)
- Experience with CCAR, CECL, and/or IFRS 9 modeling environments
- Knowledge of numerical methods (optimization/root finding) and/or large-scale computation (e.g., Monte Carlo, multi-core/HPC)
- Experience using AI/ML methods in risk contexts with attention to interpretability and governance
