If you are a quantitative finance professional looking to accelerate your career, the Audit Manager, Quantitative opportunity at BMO offers a uniquely powerful platform for growth. Unlike many quant roles that focus on a single business line or model type, this position provides rare exposure to virtually every class of quantitative model across the bank, giving you a comprehensive view of how risk, analytics, and decision-making connect across the enterprise. Working at the intersection of quantitative finance, model risk, and internal audit, you'll assess complex models, challenge assumptions, and deliver insights that help strengthen BMO's risk framework while building expertise that few professionals in banking have the opportunity to develop.
What makes this role especially attractive is the breadth of visibility and connection it offers. You will partner with stakeholders across the 1st and 2nd Lines of Defence, engage with senior leaders, and gain a unique perspective on how information, risk, and strategy flow throughout the organization. The team intentionally promotes exposure to different model areas, helping you expand your technical knowledge, build a broad network, and position yourself for future career opportunities across BMO. Whether your passion lies in credit risk or you want to explore a variety of quantitative disciplines, the team's size and flexibility allow high performers to influence their development path and the work they take on.
Beyond the technical challenge, Audit is widely viewed as a career accelerator because it provides unmatched leadership connectivity and enterprise-wide exposure. Combined with a highly collaborative culture, strong relationship-building opportunities, and some of the highest engagement scores across the bank, this role offers the chance to learn continuously, make a meaningful impact, and build a foundation for long-term success. For curious, analytical professionals with a Master's or PhD in a quantitative field and a passion for solving complex problems, this is an opportunity to gain a panoramic view of banking while helping shape the future of risk management at BMO.
