• Maintain rating consistency and rigour across the portfolio, documenting rating rationale clearly and in accordance with internal standards.
• Review and update ratings on a periodic basis or in response to material credit events.

Portfolio Monitoring & Risk Management

• Work closely with operations, underwriting, and technology teams to improve data quality and system functionality.

• Degree in Economics, Finance, Accounting, or a closely related discipline.
• Proven ability to analyse and assess the creditworthiness of corporate, financial institution, and sovereign counterparties.
• Excellent analytical thinking and financial modelling skills, with meticulous attention to detail and the ability to synthesise complex information into clear, actionable recommendations.
