POSITION INFO:
Why This Role Stands Out:
You’ll be part of a high-performing team that supports leading banks and corporates in navigating complex regulatory, capital, and credit risk landscapes. With a strong focus on innovation, transformation, and analytics, this is a rare opportunity to step into a strategic, technically rewarding leadership role with room to grow.
Your Role:
As a Manager or Senior Manager in the Credit Risk Advisory team, you will:

Lead the design, calibration, and validation of credit risk models (PD, EAD, LGD).
Build, refine, and review IFRS 9 and Basel-aligned risk models.
Develop advanced portfolio credit analytics, scorecards, and behavioural pricing tools.
Design and implement credit monitoring frameworks.
Drive client communication, reporting, and stakeholder engagement.
Contribute to the development of junior staff and the broader team culture.

What You Require:

BSc or equivalent in Mathematics, Statistics, Actuarial Science, or Quantitative Finance.
5–8 years of hands-on credit risk modelling experience in banking or consulting.
Strong knowledge of IFRS 9, IAS 39, Basel II/III, and regulatory frameworks.
Proficiency in programming (SAS, Python, R, Matlab, VBA).
Experience in retail credit risk preferred.

Leadership & Soft Skills:

Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset.
Proven team leadership and mentorship ability.
Strategic, commercially aware thinking and delivery focus.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.

What You’ll Gain:

A hybrid work model with regular in-person collaboration and social engagement.
Access to cutting-edge financial modelling projects across diverse industries.
A dynamic and inclusive culture that values diversity and transformation.
Structured opportunities for technical and leadership development.
