- Assist in monitoring exposures, risk trends, and performance across a globally diversified portfolio of commercial aircraft, engines, and helicopter assets.
- Partner closely with Front Office deal teams to balance commercial delivery with disciplined credit standards.
- Contribute to portfolio-management responsibilities, including watch-list activity, impairment analysis, provisioning, and credit-review reporting.
- Work within a structured team of asset-finance and credit-risk specialists, gaining exposure to senior leadership and a clear sense of progression.
