This includes actively monitoring the overall risk profile of portfolio assets, identifying emerging risks, and reviewing financial models, key assumptions and downside sensitivities to assess asset performance and debt service capacity.

Assess and monitor material ESG risks and sustainability-related indicators, escalating emerging issues where appropriate.

Collaborative Growth

Champion a "no surprises" risk culture. Work closely with senior specialists, collaborating with Client Coverage and Risk teams to identify potential credit or reputational issues before they arise.

Process & AI Enablement

Identify opportunities to apply AI and automation across the monitoring cycle. Work with technology, risk and the wider team to pilot, refine and embed new tools and workflows. Ensure AI-assisted outputs are properly reviewed and that their use complies with internal policies and regulatory expectations.
