  • Prepare analytical summaries and visualizations that translate complex findings into decision-ready insights.
Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Assist in preparing materials that distill complex technical analysis into clear, simple narratives suitable for non-technical audiences.
  • Participate in cross-functional discussions to ensure alignment with governance, data quality, and control expectations.
Credit Governance & Policy Support
  • Support maintenance of credit governance documents, tracking requirements, and ensuring documentation accuracy and completeness.
  • Assist in monitoring adherence to credit policies, standards, and Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) requirements.
  • Help coordinate supporting materials for oversight reviews, audits, examinations, and control-related activities.
Judgment, Independence & Continuous Improvement
  • Work independently on assigned analytical tasks and non-routine issues within established guidelines and frameworks.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, documentation consistency, and reporting accuracy.
  • Take ownership of assigned workstreams, with broader responsibilities assigned as experience and business needs evolve.
Qualifications
  • Typically 4-6 years in lending, credit risk, analytics, portfolio management, or related functions within a financial institution.
  • Postsecondary degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Applied analytics experience with Python, SQL, SAS, R, or similar tools; demonstrated ability to synthesize complex analysis into clear, decision-ready narratives and visuals.
  • Working understanding of banking, credit risk concepts, and portfolio analytics gained through education and hands-on experience.
  • Data-driven decision making
  • Basic understanding of compliance and regulatory expectations
  • Machine-learning awareness (bias, overfitting, explainability basics)
What We Offer
  • A high-impact second-line role with visibility across priority businesses and exposure to enterprise initiatives.
  • Opportunities to meaningfully strengthen credit oversight, decision quality, and portfolio resilience.
  • A culture that values integrity, inclusion, innovation, and high performance.
