High-Risk Portfolio Oversight
  • Performs enhanced portfolio monitoring to detect early-warning signals, covenant non-compliance, or deteriorating credit trends .
  • Evaluates portfolio-level performance indicators and risk concentrations, escalating concerns where appropriate and recommending corrective actions.
  • Assesses the overall quality of risk management practices across the high-risk portfolio, identifying gaps and recommending improvements.

Subject Matter Expertise & Consultancy
  • Operates as a specialist resource to senior leaders and frontline teams, supporting decision-making on complex or ambiguous credit scenarios.
  • Provides expertise for the review of high-risk transactions, challenging underlying assumptions, and advising on risk-aligned alternatives.
  • Engages with internal stakeholders to ensure consistency in the management of high-risk exposures across the enterprise.

Governance, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
  • Strengthens discipline and transparency around watch-list and impaired account management procedures .
  • Implements adjustments to risk oversight strategies in response to shifting market, economic, or client-specific conditions.
  • Contributes to enterprise initiatives that enhance risk governance, improve monitoring capabilities, and support proactive portfolio management.

Stakeholder Engagement
  • Partners closely with Commercial banking stakeholders to support their management of deteriorating clients while maintaining LOB ownership of BAU underwriting and client relationships .
  • Supports senior leadership with insights, analysis, and recommendations to inform capital allocation decisions and risk appetite considerations.
  • Engages with industry peers and internal networks to stay informed on emerging risks, competitive trends, and evolving best practices.
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of experience in credit, lending, restructuring, portfolio management, or financial analysis within a corporate or banking environment.
  • Strong credit qualifications, including deep knowledge of commercial credit structures, deteriorating-credit dynamics, and high-risk portfolio management practices.
  • Bachelor's degree required; master's degree preferred (Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, or related field).
  • Demonstrated ability to assess complex financial situations, identify risks, and recommend solutions aligned with risk appetite and enterprise policies.
  • Proven capability to operate in an advisory role, influence stakeholders, and provide expertise in non-routine, ambiguous, or sensitive credit situations.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to apply sound judgment under pressure.
