French language skills are a plus given the international scope of the platform.

  • Provide approval or recommendation for approval on proposed credit limits and tenors; document recommendations clearly for final decision-making
  • Validate Obligor Risk Ratings, Basel II parameters including LGDs, and other key financial metrics across the portfolio
  • Perform ongoing monitoring of portfolio credit quality including early detection of deteriorating credits; participate actively in quarterly watch list review processes
  • Track credit and market trends across individual asset classes within the Financial Sponsors and securitization universe
  • Assist the Portfolio Management and Governance team in preparing reporting for senior risk management and regulators
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of the bank's credit policy guidelines and overall risk appetite framework; participate in setting global risk appetite for financing initiatives
  • Assess new business initiatives including white papers, New Product Committees, and business rules from a credit risk perspective
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with business lines, legal, compliance, and risk partners to deliver sound and timely credit decisions
