GER | (Wholesale) IRB Consultant, Manager, Seniormanager

True North Partners LLP is hiring a Wholesale IRB Consultant (Manager / Senior Manager) in Germany to join our specialist risk and finance advisory team and help leading banks build robust internal ratings-based credit risk models.

About the Role

As a Wholesale IRB Consultant at True North Partners LLP, based in Germany, you will work hands-on with major financial institutions on the development and enhancement of wholesale IRB credit risk models. This full-time, on-site position spans our Manager and Senior Manager levels and sits at the intersection of quantitative modelling, regulation, and practical implementation. You will tackle complex, high-impact engagements where innovation in methodology genuinely matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to wholesale IRB credit risk model development, going well beyond audit or review work.
• Apply quantitative and analytical techniques to real-world banking risk problems.
• Advise clients on local and international financial services regulation, particularly within PRA and ECB supervisory frameworks.
• Support related areas such as ICAAP/ILAAP, risk appetite and limits, stress testing, capital management, recovery and resolution, strategic planning, and pricing where relevant.
• Take an active part in running and growing the firm, including business development, marketing, and management activities.

Qualifications

• 5–10 years in management consulting for the financial services or banking sector, covering risk management, credit risk, or risk modelling.
• Demonstrable, hands-on experience developing wholesale IRB credit risk models — this is essential.
• Practical command of programming languages and data structures such as Python, SAS, R, and SQL.
• Solid understanding of relevant financial regulation, especially in a PRA/ECB supervisory context.
• Strong analytical ability backed by a quantitative foundation applied to banking risk.
• A master's degree in a quantitative discipline such as mathematics, industrial engineering, economics, or physics.
• Clear problem-solving instincts, strong communication skills, and the ability to keep the bigger picture in view.
• Fluent English; German or Spanish is an advantage.
