Job Description Summary

JOB TITLE: Credit Officer – Banks & Intragroup Sector
LOCATION: London, Birmingham, Edinburgh
HOURS: Full-time
WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Credit Officer to join the Banks team, which forms part of the broader Financial Institutions ("FI") Credit Risk team.

In FI Credit we are passionate about risk management and dedicated to supporting our business partners in building sustainable and long-lasting client relationships. We collaborate closely with Coverage and Product teams and view ourselves as business enablers. We are curious and friendly. We challenge existing ways of working and seek ways to simplify and automate, so we can focus on what matters.

As a Credit Officer in the FI Credit – Banks team, you will have a primary focus in the Banks sector (including our own intragroup subsidiaries). Initially your responsibilities will include credit analysis and recommendations on lending/trading limits and new transaction requests. Over time, we aim to empower you with delegated credit authority, enabling you to make important decisions on the Banks portfolio. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate on other FI portfolios, such as Insurance, Securitisations, Financial Sponsors and Funds.
