Models are at the heart of how ING makes decisions, across Credit, Market, KYC, Operational, Pricing, and beyond. They are a powerful asset, and managing the uncertainties and risks that come with their use is essential to ensuring that model output leads to the right decisions and that models add business value safely. We are looking for a hands-on, analytically driven Model Risk Specialist to join our Model Risk Portfolio Management & Frameworks team. **The team** The Model Risk Management department exists to make that happen, not through oversight alone, but by building a function that genuinely steers.
