The Function & Team
The Credit & Risk team sits within the Group Risk & Compliance function and provides independent oversight across the Private Credit platform. Partnering with lending and portfolio management teams throughout the lending lifecycle, the team establishes and maintains the governance, frameworks, and oversight that support consistent lending decisions, effective portfolio management, and effective restructuring across all of Private Credit's lending strategies.
Credit & Risk team members work collaboratively across credit underwriting, portfolio monitoring, restructuring, recoveries, and assurance, providing specialist expertise across all of Private Credit's lending strategies.
Key Responsibilities
Reporting to the Audit Director, Credit & Risk, the Assurance Manager is a core member of the Credit Assurance function, acting as Triple Point Lending's second line of defence delivering independent, risk-focused reviews of Relationship Management's oversight of borrower relationships across the credit lifecycle, from drawdown through to repayment or exit.
Review Delivery
- Plan and execute credit file reviews across the Private Credit book, assessing borrower relationships across six dimensions: Asset Quality; Credit Administration & Management; Covenant Monitoring & Breach Management; Problem Debt Management; Monitoring, Reporting & Governance; and Data Completeness & Accuracy, applying a risk-based sampling approach that prioritises higher-exposure names, complex facilities, and sectors under stress.
- Conduct thematic reviews on specific credit risk processes (e.g., covenant monitoring effectiveness, MI quality, credit submission standards) across a risk-based sample of the portfolio.
- Carry out spot-checks between full file reviews, including new business covenant reviews ahead of the first covenant test.
- Execute triggered reviews in response to material credit events, whistleblowing concerns, or requests from senior stakeholders or the Credit Committee.
- Use sanctioned AI tools (e.g., Claude) to support review delivery, developing a scalable, sustainable, and repeatable automated process that assists with information synthesis, report preparation, and pattern recognition across portfolio data and identify opportunities to extend AI-enabled ways of working within the Credit Assurance function.
