  • Prepare and present regular reporting to senior management on portfolio quality, profitability, capital usage, and exposure concentrations.
Risk & Credit Management
  • Partner with Credit Risk to ensure accurate risk grading, timely reviews, and adherence to lending policies.
  • Assess counterparty performance, covenant compliance, and external market factors impacting portfolio risk.
  • Recommend risk mitigation strategies such as refinancing, restructuring, hedging, or exposure reduction.

  • Collaborate with Origination and Product teams to guide capital allocation and target sectors aligned with growth objectives.
  • Contribute to development of portfolio frameworks, KPIs, and credit appetite parameters.
Analysis & Reporting
  • Build and maintain financial models to analyse portfolio performance and forecast future scenarios.
  • Prepare management information (MI) packs, regulatory reports, and internal reviews.
  • Assist in implementing portfolio tools and data enhancements to improve monitoring and decision-making.

  • Experience in portfolio management, credit risk, investment banking, structured finance, or related fields.
  • Strong financial modelling and analytical skills, with proficiency in Excel and familiarity with financial statements.
  • Ability to interpret complex credit structures and evaluate risk.
  • Knowledge of banking regulations (e.g., Basel frameworks, capital and liquidity rules) is desirable.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to present insights to senior stakeholders.
