Credit Risk Middle Office (CRMO) is part of the Reporting Middle Office and Control organisation within Corporate Risk. Our role is primarily focused on support for the Wholesale Credit Risk organisation globally. Key functions include limit breach monitoring, ongoing credit risk client maintenance and resolution of operational issues.
As a Credit Risk Management Office Analyst in the Credit Risk Management team, you will work the fund onboarding team whose position is ultimately to ensure that new and existing asset management clients are analysed in terms of their risk profile and then provided with the necessary credit lines in order to facilitate our business with them (primarily derivatives trading and custody services). The current team is split by regional portfolio and you, once fully trained, will take on a portfolio that consists of fund managers across a number of mainly European countries. The team plays an integral role in the wider onboarding process and partners closely with Credit Risk and onboarding teams.
