2027 Winter - GRM, AI & Stress Testing Analytics Intern (4 Months)

What will you do?

• Develop Python-based analytical tools and automation that support stress testing processes, results analysis and benchmarking
• Apply generative AI and LLM tools to real risk problems — scenario narrative drafting support, document and news analysis for emerging risk signals, code generation and quality checks, and automated report production
• Analyze stress testing outputs to explain drivers of projected credit losses and capital impacts, and prepare clear summaries for technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Build interactive dashboards and visualizations (Python, and HTML-based) that make stress testing results easier to interrogate and consume
• Contribute to prototyping work on AI-enabled risk monitoring and stress testing platforms — from gathering requirements through to testing and documentation
• Participate in design sessions with quantitative analysts and downstream users, contribute ideas, document requirements and share what you learn with the team
