Responsibilities include:
• As reviewer, participating in WSCR reviews led by other team members. This includes reviewing assigned client files, recording analyses and conclusions in the workpaper database, and participating actively in all review meetings.
• Continuous monitoring of assigned portfolios. This includes maintaining regular contact with responsible credit executives and bankers and participating in periodically scheduled portfolio review meetings. All observations are recorded in portfolio-specific monitoring journals.
• Serve as an information resource on risk rating policy and risk analysis for business and credit officers, who may call to seek advice or clarity and field calls from bank examiners on particular portfolios, credits recently reviewed, policy matters, credit system questions, etc.
• Partner with credit risk management to identify and inform of any potential risk or control concerns identified during reviews.
• Remain informed able to interpret regulatory developments related to WSCR portfolios.
Required Skills:
• 7+ years of credit experience analyzing high net worth clients and corporations in one or more of the following roles: credit/loan review, corporate or private client lending, counterparty risk management, credit approval, workout, risk rating analysis or regulatory supervision (OCC, FRB, RBI etc.).
