Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled without an explicit seniority level, but the scope — independent model validation, governance standards development, and communication to senior management in a regulated financial services environment — clearly supports a Senior-level classification.
The compensation is stated as 'up to $210,000' base salary; no minimum figure is given, so only the maximum is captured. A 10% annual bonus and a sign-on bonus are also offered but are not quantified in the posting.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily quantitative/analytical (model validation, statistical testing, AI/ML evaluation) which maps best to Data Scientists (15-2051), but the governance, risk management, and compliance emphasis could also fit Operations Research Analysts (15-2031). It is not a pure software development role.
Model risk management is listed as a core requirement via the phrase 'thorough understanding of model risk management within a regulated environment' in the opening description — treated as a hard gate despite not appearing under a formal 'Requirements' heading, as it is framed with firm language.
The role is hybrid (3 days onsite per week in New York City), so remote=false.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Model risk management.
