Senior Credit Manager, CTAU

This is a defining point in the history of the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED). It’s also a pivotal time for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). We’re expanding into the region, ensuring the stable economic growth demanded by the people who live here. It’s a unique moment – and you can be part of it.

About the role
A member of the Risk Management Vice Presidency, you’ll work closely with the Banking Department to structure transactions so that risks are reduced. That means analysing all credit aspects of each debt proposal, including macroeconomic, systemic, regulatory, market and business risks, as well as pricing. And it could well involve advocating improvements and making sure they’re followed through. Either way, you’ll take an informed, independent view and ultimately decide whether to recommend a proposal for investment. On top of this you’ll have input into credit policy issues, papers for the Board and updates for the Operations Manual. And at every stage, you’ll build collaborative working relationships with colleagues – particularly those in Treasury, Banking, the Office of the General Counsel and the Office of the Chief Economist.

About you
Your substantial commercial bank, credit and or equity experience will include significant involvement in credit risk management. What’s more, it will have made you a skilled analyst of various counterparties, corporates and financial institutions. Well-versed in the economic and political drivers of emerging markets, and in pricing risk, you’ll also be familiar with commercial bank operating procedures and systems. This depth of technical expertise will help you size up projects quickly, make authoritative recommendations and defend your position in the face of business pressures. We’ll also look for cultural sensitivity – and you may well already have first-hand exposure to the SEMED region plus Arabic or French language skills. In any case you’ll be someone who’s curious, looks beyond the obvious and never accepts information at face value.

About us
Owned by 61 countries, the European Union and the European Investment Bank, the EBRD supports projects whose funding needs cannot be fully met by the market. We have operations in 29 countries from Central Europe to Central Asia and we are currently expanding into the southern and eastern Mediterranean. Our work covers a huge variety of sectors and projects. And while each one of them is unique in the challenges it presents, all share the common goals of encouraging private investment and promoting secure and stable market economies.
