YOUR TEAM

Your team belongs to BNP Paribas RISK Division (5 500+ employees in 50+ countries), recognized for its excellence among its peers. RISK is an integrated and independent function, it covers all the risks of the Bank (credit, market, liquidity, operational, ESG risks). RISK is part of the control functions but is also a partner for Business Lines and helps them sustainably growing.

Inside RISK, MS4U (Model & Simulation for you) is a cross-functional team (400+ teammates), located in 10 countries and designed to provide integrated, end-to-end modelling and simulations capability. MS4U is the backbone of the Group’s future RISK modelling ecosystem. It strengthens our capacity to manage growing complexity, anticipate emerging risks, meet increasing regulatory expectations, and provide RISK, the Businesses and Finance & Strategy with the critical insights needed to make informed decisions. MS4U is structured around five pillars: Produce, Advise, Steer, Model , Remind (Research, Memory and Intelligence of Data).

The Advise Pillar (15+ teammates) ensures Regulatory watch (Regulation anticipation, analysis and advocacy), supports the Top Management when designing modelling strategies and provides quantitative insights to be embedded in decision-making.

Advise – Model portfolio analysis and Strategy ('MOMA') in particular:

analyses the cost-benefit equilibrium of IRBA approaches use. This analysis is supported by a regular IRBA model inventory, augmented by the most meaningful/innovative indicators, including simulations.

constructs mid-term model-related trajectory of capital requirements, monitors the impacts for all entities of the Bank and ensures consistence in visions with Finance and Strategy Function

when necessary, MOMA designs and maintains its own simulation tools.

also incubates or directly coordinates strategic programs to convert Regulation changes/challenges in transformation opportunities. For example, lately, MOMA has designed very large/transversal transformation programmes to prepare the Bank to CRR3 ("Basel 4") or align the model portfolio to Regulatory Guidelines ("IRB Repair") and even more recently, the PROUD Programme that supports a strategic decision which is the regulatory approach (Internal Rating Based Approaches -'IRBA' vs Standardized Approaches) (see below). The first two programmes are pluriannual and mobilize 100+ people in different divisions

ensures that new models are swiftly implemented and inserted in credit risk processes

Integrating Advise – Model portfolio analysis and Strategy ('MOMA') gives you a lot of visibility and responsibilities.
