As part of its activities, Desjardins uses a large number of quantitative models, including advanced analytical tools and artificial intelligence systems, to support its product and service offer and properly manage its risks, while always doing what’s best for members and clients. While these models provide indisputable decision-making support, their use leads to further risks that must in turn be analyzed, assessed and mitigated. To this end, a governance framework specific to the models must be in place throughout their life cycle—from design to removal—including performance monitoring and various other development phases. This framework must also address risks specific to artificial intelligence systems to ensure appropriate use, in keeping with industry standards. As Team Leader, Model Risk Monitoring, reporting to the Director, Model Monitoring and Validation, you lead and influence stakeholders in the model life cycle so that they can provide an overview of the risks associated with Desjardins’s range of models and ensure control over them. You coach and guide a team of seasoned professionals dedicated to the analysis, research and development of model risk management frameworks, as well as their operationalization. You have functional authority over the team and support talent development and employee engagement by creating a positive, motivating work environment where everyone’s contribution is valued. More specifically, you will be required to:
Propose solutions to optimize the governance framework to strengthen control over model risk
Coordinate the efforts required of risk partners in the first, second and third lines of defence to oversee models, including artificial intelligence systems
Ensure that models are referred to decision-making processes throughout their life cycle
Provide opinions and follow up on non-compliance with the model risk management framework
