The Investment Products & Solutions division is seeking a Lead Data Scientist to architect and manage the predictive analytics capabilities for our Private Banking unit. We are currently undertaking a strategic transition from legacy, rule-based advisory logic to a data-driven propensity modeling framework, and to put a data-driven approach at the core of our decision-making process. The objective is to deploy scientifically robust, explainable machine learning models that optimize investment product recommendations for high-net-worth clients and drive our core businesses. You will report directly to the Head of Digital Advisory (a CFA charterholder). Leveraging my extensive tenure with the bank, I will be deeply engaged in navigating the organizational and business challenges, effectively clearing the path for you to focus on technical architecture and modeling rigor.
