SVP, Regional Head, Credit Specialist for Securitisation Portfolio, Risk Management Group

Business Function

Risk Management Group works closely with our business partners to manage the bank's risk exposure by balancing its objective to maximise returns against an acceptable risk profile. We partner with origination teams to provide financing, investments and hedging opportunities to our customers. To manage risk effectively and run a successful business, we invest significantly in our people and infrastructure.

Securitisation is the tranching of credit risk associated with an exposure or a pool of exposures and transforms relatively illiquid assets into liquid, tradable capital market instruments. Repayment is subject to the performance of the exposure or pool of exposures. As part of client relationship strategy, the Bank originates and invests in such instruments from time to time.

Reporting to the Group Chief Credit Officer, the Credit Specialist holds joint responsibility over the Bank's securitisation portfolio with Business Unit and Product Specialist. The role is an opportunity to further develop credit skills, work in a dynamic environment to build positive working relationships with multiple stakeholders in the Bank, and would be suitable for a passionate, driven individual with a growth mindset and desire to learn.
