A career in the Internal Audit Capital Markets team at National Bank, means using your quantitative expertise to challenge models and risk analytics that support trading, market risk and valuation control. As Chief Advisor – Model & Quantitative Specialist, you will lead and deliver audits focused on model risk, market risk methodologies and front‑to‑back controls, helping strengthen governance, improve outcomes, and ensure key decisions are supported by robust analytics. You will partner closely with Market Risk, Front Office and other control functions, and you will act as a go‑to subject matter expert for complex quantitative topics across the team.

Your role

  • Lead and/or execute audits across Capital Markets with a primary focus on model risk and quantitative topics (e.g., market risk models, stress testing frameworks, limit controls, valuation and model governance)
  • Assess model lifecycle controls end-to-end (development, implementation, independent validation, monitoring, change management and documentation) and evaluate alignment with governance expectations and regulatory requirements (including OSFI Guideline E‑23)
  • Perform quantitative audit procedures such as independent calculations, benchmarking/challenger analyses, sensitivity/stability testing and backtesting review to support clear, evidence-based conclusions
  • Act as a trusted Internal Audit advisor for quantitative/model related topics with Front Office, Market Risk and Finance/Valuation Control, helping translate complex quantitative topics into actionable risk insights for senior stakeholders
  • Influence and negotiate with senior management on the severity, root cause and remediation of issues raised; drive practical, measurable action plans
  • Coach and upskill the team on quantitative concepts, model governance, audit best practices and effective challenge

Your team

You will join a multidisciplinary team of 20+ colleagues and report to the Senior Director – Internal Audit Capital Markets. You will work on high‑impact, cross-functional mandates that provide a front‑to‑back view of the trading and risk ecosystem, with exposure to senior stakeholders and complex quantitative topics. We offer an environment that supports learning, knowledge sharing and work/life balance.

Prerequisite
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., quantitative finance, mathematics, statistics, engineering, actuarial sciences, economics or related)
  • 10+ years relevant experience with exposure to Capital Markets
  • Strong risk and complex financial instrument valuation expertise (VaR, stress testing, sensitivities, P&L decomposition, pricing models)
  • Strong understanding of model risk management best practices (model lifecycle: development, implementation, validation, monitoring)
  • Regulatory literacy for model risk, including OSFI Guideline E‑23
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to synthesize and explain complex quantitative topics to non‑quant partners and senior management
  • Collaborative and confident in stakeholder communications of findings and remediation plans
  • A curious, proactive mindset with strong ownership, independence and attention to detail
Languages: English, French Reason to require this language: you will need to work closely with our colleagues outside Quebec.
