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.

Proficiency in programming (SAS, Python, R, Matlab, and 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:
