The position serves as a senior subject matter expert on linking models, explainability, monitoring, performance assessment, and governance.

Accountabilities

• Design, implement, and maintain neural network models and enterprise-wide model governance frameworks, standards, and controls for machine learning and linking solutions.
• Lead model validation and review activities, including performance assessment, precision analysis, explainability evaluation, bias testing, and risk identification.
• Establish and monitor model lifecycle processes covering development, testing, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and retirement.
• Develop governance metrics, dashboards, and reporting to provide visibility into model performance, drift, risk exposure, and business impact.
• Partner with data scientists, software engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to ensure governance requirements are embedded throughout the model development lifecycle.
• Create and maintain model documentation, validation reports, audit artifacts, governance approvals, and regulatory evidence.
• Evaluate model performance using statistical analysis, precision and recall measurements, confidence scoring, explainability techniques, and business outcome monitoring.
• Lead investigations into model degradation, unexpected behavior, accuracy declines, and governance exceptions, recommending mitigation strategies and corrective actions.
• Establish controls and monitoring processes to identify data drift, concept drift, and operational risks affecting model quality.
• Communicate governance findings, model risks, validation outcomes, and recommendations to technical teams, executive leadership, auditors, and business stakeholders.
