Job Purpose

To manage and maintain risk-adjusted pricing and risk ratings for complex credit lending to large corporate clients, in alignment with Basel regulatory requirements.

Job Responsibilities

Credit Policy & Complex Lending Management:

Align with the bank's credit policy while managing complex credit lending solutions for large corporate clients. Prepare and recommend credit applications involving structured finance, syndicated loans, and multi-tiered facilities within approved parameters. Assess credit risk by analysing financial statements, debt repayment history, earnings, and corporate purchasing behaviour. Recommend appropriate credit terms and structures, including bespoke facilities, covenant packages, and risk mitigants. Evaluate the financial status of large corporations to determine risk levels using advanced financial modelling and stress testing. Apply financial ratios, industry benchmarks, and sector-specific metrics to assess cash flow adequacy and repayment capacity. Recommend credit limits and structures in line with internal lending policies and regulatory frameworks. Monitor credit reports and portfolio performance to identify emerging risks and ensure compliance with Basel and IRB standards. Measure compliance, identify breaches, and escalate risk concerns with actionable recommendations. Obtain and verify updated financial information to support ongoing credit reviews and condition signoffs. Ensure appropriate security and collateral structures are in place for complex lending transactions. Meet Nedbank Group Rating requirements by conducting thorough account reviews and identifying credit deterioration. Monitor daily excess reports to identify clients exceeding approved limits and initiate corrective actions. Risk-rate clients using internal risk systems and assess financial positions in line with IRB methodology.

Client Relationship & Service Management:

Deliver high-quality service by understanding the unique needs of large corporate clients and responding with tailored credit solutions. Enhance client satisfaction by sharing insights and developing the capabilities of the client service team and stakeholders. Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders by participating in deal forums and supporting strategic initiatives. Maintain robust external client relationships by understanding their industries, capital structures, and strategic goals. Collaborate with other bank divisions (e.g., treasury, legal, risk) to structure and execute complex deals. Provide accurate and timely information to stakeholders by maintaining deep product and policy knowledge.
