You will develop a strong understanding of the management reporting produced within the Credit Risk team, including identifying opportunities to improve automation, managing data quality, and updating technical documentation and user guides. Working collaboratively with key stakeholders, including internal and external data teams and the centralised risk management group, you will help drive continuous improvement and effective risk management outcomes. You will also lead the team to ensure obligations and reporting standards are met, drawing on deep knowledge of Prudential Standards for ADIs under Risk Management, including APS220, ARS220, APS112, APS113, NCCP and BCOP.
