This position works closely with the First Line Credit Risk Team to ensure credit risk management is aligned with the Bank's risk appetite, leading practices, and regulatory expectations.

This includes active engagement in the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process and ongoing maintenance of the risk and control library for credit risk.
  • Independently evaluate the adequacy of credit risk governance practices, portfolio management, policies, underwriting standards/criteria, and reporting and analytics. This also involves assisting and evaluating items related to model risk management (e.g. selection of assumptions).
  • Review and challenge credit risk modeling practices in partnership with the Second Line Model Risk Management team, including loan loss estimation and stress testing methodologies.

Risk Reporting and Communication
  • Prepare and deliver risk reports to senior management and the Board, as appropriate.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations clearly, highlighting material risks and proposed mitigation strategies.
  • Support regulatory reporting requirements related to credit risk oversight, as needed.

Collaboration and Coordination
  • Partner with Financial Risk Oversight to ensure an integrated risk management approach across key financial risks - credit, liquidity, and market and interest rate risk domains.
  • Collaborate and coordinate with Independent Loan Review to avoid overlap and focus on portfolio-level oversight and governance.
  • Coordinate with other ERM Programs to ensure risks and changes are tracked, monitored, and communicated effectively. Collaborate with various ERM stakeholders to create efficiencies in identification, risk assessment and reporting activities.
  • Support remediation and root cause analysis of operational risk events with credit risk impact.

Regulatory Compliance and Best Practice
  • Monitor regulatory developments impacting credit risk management, ensuring timely adoption and consideration of industry leading practices.
  • Participate in internal audit and regulatory examinations related to credit risk, supporting remediation of findings as needed.

Required Skills
