Business Analyst

Join Danske Bank and help implement new credit risk models across the bank. You will investigate current processes, regulations, systems and data flows to understand how credit risk models are used today, then translate complex requirements into practical solutions. 

As a Senior Business Analyst, you will be at the centre of implementing new Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) credit models across Danske Bank. You will collaborate with stakeholders globally across Risk, Finance, business units, model development and IT to ensure new Loss Given Default (LGD) models meet regulatory expectations and are implemented successfully.

This role is based in Vilnius, Lithuania, and it does not include a relocation allowance for candidates who are not based in Lithuania.
