The Commission is recruiting for Data Scientists to assist the Risk and Operations Division with a project under our three year business plan. These are fixed-term temporary positions for between c. 18 months to 3 years. The Commission is aware that technology, such as RegTech, Suptech and artificial intelligence is transforming the way that regulated firms achieve, manage and evidence their compliance with laws and regulations. It is also transforming what products they offer to customers and impacts how resilient they are when third party technology providers have issues, such as cyber-attacks or system failures. Additionally, technology continues to develop at a fast pace which will only increase when new resources, such as ready access to Quantum computing, become available to smaller organisations.
The role requires candidates to make substantive and sensible proposals on how we can adapt our current supervisory processes or tools to enable us to supervise firms more effectively.
The main duties and responsibilities of the role will include:
- Providing support on the development and implementation of a more analytics-led approach to the risk-based supervision of our licensees.
- Liaising with divisional representatives in order to identify, develop, create and test innovative tools to further enhance and augment the Commission’s approach to risk-based supervision.
- Takes responsibility for querying and analysing data from relational databases and understanding data quality, data models, data dictionaries and data taxonomies.
- Using a range of Machine Learning techniques (both supervised and unsupervised learning), Natural Language Processing, Optimisation and Cognitive Computing solutions to solve problems.
- Using visualisation techniques and dash-boarding tools to present information and findings (e.g., R Shiny, Power BI).
