Job Description

What is the opportunity?
RBC is a global leader in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the banking sector in order to create value for our clients, with capabilities ranging from LLM-powered digital banking to voice assistants in customer service. A failure to effectively prepare for and manage emerging model risk related to AI would subject RBC to financial, regulatory, and reputational risks and, as a result, RBC would not be able to provide its clients with the best quality service. Therefore, the AI validation team within RBC's Enterprise Model Risk Management (RBC Group Risk Management) is tasked with assessing, and managing the model risk that may arise from these AI capabilities.

The AI validation team uses machine learning, statistical, and computational strategies to assess model risk. In doing so, RBC is able to identify model weaknesses early and enhance the reliability of production models across all lines of business.

What will you do?

• Application: You will have the opportunity to collaborate with teams across a wide variety of business functions, such as the following: Internal Audit, Cybersecurity, Fraud Management, Anti-Money Laundering, Insurance, Credit Risk, Technology Operations, Identity & Access Management, Human Resources.

• Technical Scope: Your primary focus will be on validation of LLM-based applications and agentic AI systems. This role may also involve validating traditional machine learning models, including classification, regression, anomaly detection, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and recommendation systems.

• Validation: Your role is to challenge models and identify risks associated with their use – both conceptually and empirically. To that end, you will explore modelling considerations such as conceptual soundness, metric reproducibility & stability, benchmarking, uncertainty quantification, fairness, privacy, explainability, implementation controls and more. You will also have the freedom to explore ideas that interest you and build your own models and tools.

• Research & Development: You will read research papers (established work and state-of-the-art) to enhance how our team validates models and contribute to our knowledge pool. You are encouraged to apply what you've learned to real-world problems, develop reusable software packages, and share your insights with others.

• IT: You will collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to establish and promote best-practices related to MLOps, tooling and IT infrastructure.
