Financial Sector Economist - SD Modelling Collaboration (Project, Remote)

This is a remote position.

Financial Sector Economist - SD Modelling Collaboration

Key Responsibilities

• Review and validate the model's representation of banking sector behaviour - lending dynamics, capital management, credit risk, and liquidity - ensuring assumptions reflect supervisory reality
  
• Contribute to the literature review and benchmarking of comparable international modelling approaches in financial stability and institutional risk
  
• Help frame the conceptual model: identifying the key feedback loops, behavioural mechanisms, and macro-financial linkages that matter most in a regulatory context
  
• Participate in periodic remote working sessions with the project team and, where relevant, with the client's technical staff
  
• Review and strengthen technical reports and documentation, translating model outputs into language that resonates with supervisory stakeholders
  
• Support knowledge transfer activities, helping the client's team internalise the model's logic and assumptions
  

Requirements

Key Requirements include:

• Postgraduate degree (Masters or higher) in economics, finance, risk management, or a related field
  
• 10+ years of experience in financial sector analysis, banking supervision, financial institution risk, or regulatory and supervisory advisory roles
  
• Direct experience working with or advising financial regulatory or supervisory institutions - central banks, financial sector authorities, or multilateral development institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, or regional equivalents
  
• Solid grounding in how banking institutions behave under stress: capital adequacy frameworks, liquidity management, credit risk dynamics, and the feedback between macroeconomic conditions and institutional risk profiles
  
• Ability to work across disciplines - translating regulatory and supervisory logic into structured analytical frameworks that can be operationalised in a simulation model
  
• Excellent written and spoken English; able to communicate complex financial concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  
• Comfortable working in a small, agile, internationally distributed team with a remote-first culture
  
• Familiarity with stock-and-flow consistent models, System Dynamics, agent-based modelling, or other simulation approaches is an advantage but not required
  
• Experience in financial sector technical assistance, capacity-building, or IFI-funded consulting projects is a strong plus
  
• Knowledge of Basel III frameworks, macroprudential tools, or financial stability analytical methodologies is an asset
