  3. Documentation and Reporting: Produce high-quality, comprehensive validation reports that clearly communicate findings, recommendations, and potential risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Ensure that validation documentation adheres to internal standards.
  4. Audit and Regulatory Review Support: Assist model validation manager in gathering and providing materials requested by internal audit and regulators, drafting responses to questions, and defending validations in exams.
  5. Continuous Learning and Improvement: Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and best practices in model validation and regulatory requirements. Contribute to the enhancement of the model validation framework by suggesting process improvements and implementing industry-leading methodologies.
