Job description

The Credit Risk team within the Risk Management Group (RMG) partners closely with the Commodity Markets and Finance (CMF) desks, providing risk oversight across hedging, lending and physical transactions in the Energy, Metals and Agricultural sectors. This role offers the opportunity to play a visible role in supporting the continued growth of CMF’s business in Brazil, while working at the center of a dynamic and commercially significant platform.

While Macquarie offers hybrid working for many of our roles, this role does require 3 days a week in our office location.

We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value. You will bring your insights and expertise to the task at hand and feel supported as you make your own kind of impact for a better future.

What role will you play?

As a Credit Risk Manager, you will be responsible for managing the credit risk of a diverse portfolio of products and counterparties. While your primary focus will be CMF’s growing Brazil business, you will also gain exposure to a broad range of businesses across CMF in the Americas and EMEA. You will lead credit assessments and ongoing monitoring, produce clear written analysis, and make recommendations on credit limits and ratings across a variety of counterparties, and work closely with the front office on structured transactions spanning both trading and lending activities, contributing informed and commercially grounded risk judgment.

What you offer

• 5+ years’ experience in a credit, risk or finance role paired with knowledge of the Brazilian market, particularly across power, agricultural commodities and oil
• Strong financial analysis skills, particularly in assessing financial statements, with familiarity with both financial and physical commodity products
• Sound judgment in identifying and assessing key risks in structured transactions and anticipating potential challenges
• The ability to communicate effectively and build relationships with risk colleagues and internal stakeholders at all levels
• A willingness to travel to Brazil regularly to engage with business stakeholders and clients; professional fluency in Portuguese is required

What we offer

At Macquarie, you’re empowered to shape a career that’s rewarding in all the ways that matter most to you. Macquarie employees can access a wide range of benefits which, depending on eligibility criteria, include:

• 1 wellbeing leave day per year and a minimum of 25 days of annual leave
• 20 weeks’ paid parental leave for primary caregivers along with 12 days of paid transition leave upon return to work and 6 weeks’ paid leave for secondary caregivers
• 2 days of paid volunteer leave and donation matching
• Benefits and initiatives to support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing such as medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision insurance; health savings account and dependent day care savings account; life insurance, disability, and other insurance plans; 401(k) and short/long term disability
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program, a robust behavioural health network with counselling and coaching services
• Access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities, including reimbursement for professional membership or subscription
