What you'll do:

As a Senior Quantitative Analyst, you'll actively use data science skills and tools, such as Python and SQL programming, Azure DevOps, and Databricks to assist the Enterprise Modeling Team (EMT) in the development, implementation, and monitoring of models used for CECL, CCAR, and other uses.

• Provide documentation on our Confluence platform to the team and to users across the enterprise.
• Assist IT with the management of Azure Dev Ops Server environment (manage PII data exposure, new user training, manage file storage capacity, etc.) and offer support to company-wide initiatives and IT projects when requested.
