Experience in commodities, particularly oil, gas, or energy, would be highly desirable. Exposure to supply-chain finance, project finance, income-producing real estate, or real estate development would also be beneficial.
For the Senior Credit Analyst position, the bank is looking for someone who can operate with minimal oversight, undertake financial modelling, and support less experienced team members.
This is not a pure lending role, candidates must have an understanding of trade-finance products alongside wider corporate credit analysis.
Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK, as sponsorship is not available.
