Full description

Job Responsibiliites

1. Build/maintain industry-level portfolio dashboards (exposure, growth, concentration, risk grade migration, watchlist, delinquency/NPL indicators) to support portfolio governance. 2. Segment the portfolio by industry, subsector, product, customer type (SME/corporate), geography, and collateral type to reveal where lending is concentrated and why. 3. Analyze credit performance trends: roll rates, arrears buckets, migration matrices, restructurings, recoveries, and early delinquency to detect emerging stress. 4. Identify “better/worse” internal segments using risk-adjusted metrics (expected loss proxies, return on risk-weighted assets, pricing vs. risk, collateral coverage) for appetite refinement. 5. Conduct cohort and vintage analysis to compare underwriting periods and policy changes with subsequent credit outcomes by industry and product. 6. Develop internal early warning models/flags leveraging facility behavior (utilization spikes, covenant breaches, limit excess, declining turnovers where available) and link to industry EWIs. 7. Provide targeted insights for underwriting and reviews, including peer benchmarking of client leverage/coverage ratios. 8. Support stress testing and sensitivity analysis by translating external shocks (rates, energy costs, demand slowdowns) into portfolio-level impact views (segment-level exposure at risk).
