We’re looking for a Model Validation Senior Manager - Gen AI to lead the teams’ oversight of Generative AI models/use cases (primarily built across Monzo’s Operations squads) to provide assurance that the models/use cases we use are not only good for Monzo but what's best for our customers.

Driving the embedding of the Model Risk Framework for Generative AI use cases across Monzo

• Own the setting and maintenance of Generative AI validation methods, evidence expectations and reusable technical assets with relevant 1LoD modelling teams, applicable across all model risk areas.
• Convert modelling/validation experience into controlled playbooks, tests and working examples that can be applied to 2LoD Validation standards and processes for all Generative AI models, use cases, systems overseen by the 2LoD Model Oversight team.
• Coach Generative AI validation methodologies, to 2LoD Model Oversight colleagues, whom already have transferable Machine Learning skills, to reduce reliance on any single specialist for the validation of Generative AI models, use cases, systems so it can be consistently applied across Financial, Credit and Fincrime/Fraud models.

• Review ongoing model performance monitoring to ensure Operational models are performing within risk thresholds and providing support to the relevant model development team when further action is required
• Monitoring and measuring the overall level of Operational model risk that Monzo operates, and driving action plans with first line teams and appropriate governance forums to mitigate residual model risk within desired risk appetite.
