Location: London (Hybrid – 3 days per week in office)

Rate: £781.35 per day (Inside IR35 via Umbrella)

Duration: 6 months (with potential for extension)

About the Role

A leading financial institution is seeking a hands-on Change Manager to drive enhancements in credit risk model development capabilities. This high-priority initiative supports regulatory commitments and aims to deliver a modernised, efficient model lifecycle for credit risk modelling.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the delivery of change across the IRB model development lifecycle, from design through to implementation.
• Develop a deep understanding of current and target state architectures for credit risk modelling.
• Create detailed process maps and define the future Target Operating Model (TOM).
• Support the formation and leadership of delivery teams, including hiring and structuring to manage multiple models through development, testing, validation, and regulatory approval.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Risk, Analytics, IT, Internal Audit, and Regulatory functions.
• Drive change management activities including impact assessments, planning, and stakeholder engagement.
• Coordinate communications, user guides, demos, and training materials to support change adoption.
• Ensure alignment with regulatory timelines and expectations, particularly in relation to model testing and submission.
• Identify and resolve delivery risks, ensuring timely execution of critical milestones.

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven experience leading change initiatives in a wholesale credit risk or modelling environment.
• Strong understanding of IRB models and credit risk components (LGD, PD, EAD).
• Experience in change management, ideally with exposure to programme-level delivery.
• Ability to work independently, proactively identifying solutions and driving delivery.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence across functions.
• Comfortable working with technical teams and understanding testing and implementation challenges.
• Familiarity with Agile delivery tools (e.g. JIRA, Confluence, PowerBI, EazyBI) is desirable.
• Strong documentation and presentation skills (MS Office, Excel, PowerPoint).

Ideal Candidate

• A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment.
• Not a coordinator or PMO – this role requires someone who can lead, problem-solve, and get hands-on.
• Experience in credit model development or implementation is highly advantageous.
• Comfortable managing multiple workstreams and aligning delivery with regulatory deadlines.
