About the Opportunity

• Create, maintain, and oversee worldwide credit risk standards, ensuring alignment in how customer creditworthiness is analyzed, scored, and approved across all markets.
• Direct the design, approval, and ongoing reassessment of credit limits for the organization’s most significant global accounts, incorporating external intelligence, financial disclosures, and proprietary risk indicators.
• Track customer financial trends and exposure levels proactively; identify exceptions or weaknesses in exposure management processes and drive corrective actions.
• Lead the administration of the enterprise’s global trade credit insurance strategy, ensuring insurer compliance and managing all renewal cycles, negotiations, and coverage optimization activities.
• Build analytical structures that highlight portfolio concentrations, geographic imbalances, and sector-specific emerging risks.
• Produce and deliver comprehensive reports on credit exposure, projected risk levels, and bad‑debt reserve requirements for senior leadership.
• Collaborate closely with Finance and commercial teams to evaluate strategic customer opportunities, designing deal structures and risk‑mitigation solutions that support profitable expansion.
