Are you passionate about data and ready to make an impact? ING is looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic, and driven Product Lead to join COO Risk within The Center of Expertise Credit Risk Modelling Data. If you thrive on working with complex data and continuously seek ways to improve processes, then we are looking for you!

As a Product Lead within the Center of Expertise (CoE) Credit Risk Modelling Data, you will be responsible for for managing development and operations of the Scope Lab including full end-to-end responsibility of performing data remediation projects. A correct Modelling scope is the key starting position for all credit risk models and corresponding processes. Hence, the outcome of the work performed by this Product Lead and the team is of critical importance to safeguard regulatory compliant credit risk models.

Finally, this role includes direct exposure to regulators (ECB/DNB) including presenting and defending (historical) scope decisions.

Work environment

The CoE acts as a single point of contact for modelling data sets, bringing together scoping, Default and LGD data capabilities while ensuring data is sourced, processed, delivered and governed in line with ING's regulatory and modelling standards.
