Responsibilities
• Lead independent quantitative validation of FinCrime, AML, AI/ML, and Generative AI models across OKX. • Perform conceptual soundness and data integrity reviews — assess model theory, methodology, assumptions, data quality, lineage, and applicability to crypto-specific risk typologies. • Perform quantitative model performance testing — back-testing, sensitivity analysis, threshold tuning, drift detection, and outcomes analysis — with additional fairness, explainability, and adversarial robustness assessments for AI/ML models. • Author validation reports suitable for governance committees and regulatory inspections. • Track validation findings through remediation closure; participate in annual and triggered revalidation cycles; contribute to and maintain the enterprise Model Inventory (entry, classification, materiality assessment). • Ensure validations meet OKX's Global Model Risk Policy and applicable global regulatory obligations — including AI governance frameworks where ML/AI components apply. • Contribute to the build-out of validation playbooks, model inventory standards (including AI/ML risk tiering), and operational frameworks — including OKX's AI Governance framework — under the direction of the Global Head of MRM. • Partner with model developers / owners, Compliance, Tech, Internal Audit, and Legal — while preserving organizational independence from model development.
