Job description
We are looking for a Data Scientist for our Integrated Risk Management team to help develop risk models and analytical frameworks that support key business decisions across credit, financial, and operational risk domains. In this role, you will work on complex quantitative challenges, build predictive and diagnostic models, and partner with stakeholders across the organization to improve risk visibility, portfolio performance, and decision-making.
Challenges that await you:
- Develop and implement advanced statistical models for our credit portfolio at both per-account and aggregate levels to predict behavior and optimize performance
- Create sophisticated Net Present Value (NPV) models and their core components on a per-account basis for our various credit products
- Model critical financial metrics, including FX position, liquidity, reserves, and other balance sheet items to support robust financial management
- Analyze and model not only expected outcomes but also their deviations, distributions, and uncertainty, recognizing the inherently probabilistic nature of financial and risk data
- Design diagnostic and forecasting models that help identify, monitor, and mitigate risks across the organization
- Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to investigate model performance, understand deviations from expectations, and improve decision-making processes
- Contribute to the development of quantitative methodologies and risk frameworks across credit, financial, and operational risk domains
What makes you a great fit:
- M.S. or Ph.D. in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Economics, or a related discipline
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in Data Science, Quantitative Analytics, Risk Modeling, or a similar role
- Strong understanding of statistical modeling, probability theory, and uncertainty quantification
- Experience developing predictive models and working with financial, risk, or other highly stochastic datasets
- Strong proficiency in Python or R and experience with statistical and analytical libraries (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Statsmodels, Scikit-learn)
- Experience with classical statistical methods, forecasting techniques, and modern machine learning approaches when appropriate
- Experience modeling distributions, confidence intervals, and risk metrics rather than focusing solely on point estimates
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to independently drive analytical initiatives from problem definition to implementation
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Our ways of working:
- Innovative Spirit: a commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
- Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
- Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
- Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together
- High-Tech Environment: a team of smart and ambitious people who challenge the status quo of traditional finance
Our benefits:
- Relocation support to one of our hubs — Mexico, Cyprus, Spain, Serbia, or Georgia — with assistance for the employee and their family
- Work remotely from anywhere, provided you can maintain overlap with the first half of the business day in Mexico
- Healthcare Coverage
- Education Budget: language lessons, professional training, and certifications
- Wellness Budget: mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
- Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Banco Plata, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
