Your role

Are you interested in quantitative risk modelling and knowledgeable of statistical, mathematical and econometrical models used in the financial industry? Are you an innovative thinker who likes to challenge the status quo and apply new analytical techniques to solve quantitative problems?

We’re looking for an economic and credit risk modelling specialist to:
  • bring innovation in the development of macro-economic forecasting models in line with international regulatory and accounting requirements
  • perform and document model performance and confirmation analysis
  • support ongoing regulatory initiatives to manage our risk e.g. IFRS9, Basel IV
  • communicate technical information to Senior Management, Client Advisors, Risk Officers and Subject Matter Experts.

The role will focus on climate risk modelling (i.e. forecasting the affect of climate change on credit losses), and will in addition have exposure to other traditional risk models (e.g. stress testing, IFRS9 ECL) that the team develops and maintains.

We develop, refine, implement and maintain mathematical, statistical and stress testing models to measure credit risk of the UBS Private & Corporate, Wealth Management International and Investment Bank portfolios for regulatory and business steering purposes. We interact with a number of departments across the bank including Front Office, Finance, IT, Credit Risk management, Business pricing / steering on a regular basis. For the development of our methodologies we use techniques from quantitative risk management, financial mathematics and econometrics. Models are implemented mainly in R and / or SAS, before being embedded in the productive risk infrastructure.


Diversity helps us grow, together. That’s why we are committed to fostering and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. It strengthens our business and brings value to our clients.

Your expertise

  • master’s or PhD degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. Financial Engineering, Economics, Finance, Econometrics, Mathematics, Statistics)
  • coding skills with statistical modelling software (R, SAS, SQL) is a minimum
  • experience with large data sets / big data is a plus
