Credit Risk Manager
The Role
My client is seeking to hire a Credit Risk Manager to work in the Risk Team based in London.
The successful candidate will be responsible for review of the firm’s corporate credit portfolio of several hundred million euros, supported by analysts from the firm’s Credit and Investments team and by oversight from the CRO and a senior external credit advisor.
The ideal candidate will have a number of years’ leveraged finance experience, ideally covering all stages of the credit lifecycle from extension to workout. Knowledge of formal credit risk management techniques is also a requirement, although the firm’s size and philosophy both lend themselves to a process that, while not compromising on rigour or independence, aims to be significantly less bureaucratic and less confrontational than in many larger organisations.
Successfully executing this role may lead to an extension of responsibilities.
Essential Skills:
- Strong fundamental credit skills
- Intellectual curiosity and independence of thought, likely to be evidenced by a strong academic record
- Exceptional communication skills including demonstrable ability to present effectively at all levels including executive management
- Understanding of financial modelling techniques typically used within the Leveraged Finance market
- Highly-developed sense of teamwork and cooperation
- Flexible attitude: ability and willingness to manage and drive one’s own workflow while maintaining high levels of responsiveness to others
