• Assist in applying LLMs to synthesize unstructured data (financials, research, news) into structured datasets for use in model development
• Help translate analytical findings into clear narratives for senior committees and regulators, contributing to decks, memos, and committee materials
• Collaborate with Technology, Model Risk, and Controls teams to support the building of tools and workflows that operationalize new grading methodologies
