Senior Credit Risk Analyst

Credit Risk

Ebury Paris Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week

We are looking for a Senior Credit Risk Analyst to take ownership of our French portfolio. Based in our Paris office, you will be the dedicated Credit Risk point of contact for France, with autonomy over your portfolio and the backing of a global Credit Risk team. We also offer the chance to get involved in other markets where Ebury is present, so the role brings international exposure in one of the fastest growing FinTech companies.

The Credit Risk team undertakes a thorough, rigorous analysis of the SME businesses looking to use our services. This includes an assessment of their markets, financials, products, activities and cash headroom modelling.

Ultimately you will be expected to prepare a submission to our Credit Committee with analysis and recommendations, as well as contribute to the development of automated risk modelling and adapt our processes to local markets.

The ideal candidate will complement Ebury's analytical and statistical capabilities with their own country-specific hands-on knowledge of defaults, credit underwriting, and collections.

The key is to add qualitative insight to credit decisions including granting lines, monitoring them, and pursuing collections.

Your Specific Responsibilities

• Support, and report to, the Regional Head of Credit Risk;
• Undertake ad hoc requests from Credit Risk Management Team;
• Perform detailed credit analysis of prospects and clients for the purpose of granting trade finance and currency trading products, with a focus on financials, operations, and trading cycles;
• Present and defend your analysis personally at credit committee meetings to senior management;
• Engage closely with other teams, such as front office and operations, to ensure a smooth client experience and that decisions made within the Credit Risk team are relayed clearly;
• Monitor an existing portfolio of clients;
• Proactively manage your own pipeline of work, along with taking responsibility to ensure the wider team’s SLAs are met;
• Liaising with analysts and managers across other geographies to add insight or assist where necessary;
• Share your thoughts to improve our processes.

Your Background

We don’t conduct our credit analysis via a tick box exercise and we believe the same should be true of the people we hire. Below is simply an example of the background we are looking for:

• Native in French and fluent in English (essential) - another European language / languages will be an advantage
• Analytical mind and strong problem-solving skills;
• A background in credit underwriting gained in the financial institution, preferably in the SME / Corporate space (min 4 years);
• A clear, structured, and concise communication style with the ability to explain complex concepts in a coherent way;
• Experience of dealing directly with clients, one on one, and resolving issues;
• A strong understanding of accountancy principles;
• An understanding of FX markets and associated vanilla products;
• An ability to work in Excel in a professional setting;
• Willing to work from office (min. 4 days a week) in a highly demanding, result-oriented, and truly global team environment;

Why Ebury?

• Competitive Starting Salary with an annual discretionary bonus that truly rewards your performance from day one.
• Dedicated Mentorship: Learn directly from experienced managers who are invested in your success.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: Leverage state-of-the-art tailor made tools and systems that enable you to perform at your best.
