EY is looking for a Senior Manager to join the Credit Risk team. Credit Risk is a rapidly growing area supported by an increased focus across the industry in a variety of domains, including regulatory capital, IFRS 9 provisions, climate change and data driven credit life cycle transformation. That makes this a great time to join a high-profile, inclusive team where you’ll work together with the most interesting and knowledgeable colleagues you can find in the industry.

Our Credit Risk team works closely with other EY financial services risk practitioners, as well as our IT Consulting and Financial Accounting Advisory Services teams, bringing together the range of quantitative modelling and technical skillsets needed to support our clients’ complex requirements. Driven by our strategic growth plans and industry change, our Credit risk team is projected to see year-on-year growth over the next 3 years.

We offer our clients comprehensive solutions to industry wide challenges, including IFRS 9, Stress Testing, portfolio & capital management, Open Banking, credit life cycle automation, model re-platforming and many others.  Through our delivery, we apply a wide range of traditional modelling skills sets but increasingly as well newer more tech and big data enabled ones, such as machine learning models of different complexity. Beyond the credit life cycle, we are applying the same model validation, model governance and model monitoring capabilities to applications in AML/CTF, fraud, customer analytics, … in the context of our Trusted AI offering.

The opportunity 
As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to work with many of the world’s leading banks, and to leverage the deep knowledge and wide-ranging skills and experience of your Credit Risk colleagues.
The successful Credit Risk Senior Manager will lead client engagements and internal projects. You will also take the lead in identifying and developing potential business opportunities for EY on existing engagements. Helping to create a collaborative and inclusive working environment by practicing active listening skills and respecting differences is something that is important for you.

You will contribute to shaping our emerging solution around Trusted or Responsible AI, where model risk management, including bespoke model validation offerings, are delivered building on the team’s experience in credit models. You will help firms develop and implement ethical AI principles, and managing the risk for bias and discrimination created by models.

Similarly, you will anticipate and identify delivery risks and raise any issues with senior members of the team. In line with our commitment to quality, you will determine that work is of a high quality and is reviewed by the next-level reviewer. As an influential member of the team, you'll help to create a positive learning culture and will coach and counsel junior team members and help them to develop.
