- Preparing cases that fall outside your personal lending authority and presenting to appropriate authority holders and Committees where required.
- Collaborating with Business Development Managers (BDMs) and Relationship Managers (RMs) to undertake early-stage assessments of new lending cases, to provide timely indicative terms responses to borrowers and commercial finance brokers.
- Identifying and reporting cases that show signs of deteriorating credit quality, in line with GB Bank Business Support Policy.
- Acting as Deputy for the Head of Credit Underwriting during periods of absence e.g. holidays.
- Providing guidance and support to junior underwriters, sharing knowledge and best practices to enhance team performance.
- Being an expert in the Bank’s lending policy and a “go-to” referral point for BDM, RM and other Credit team colleagues.
- Proactively supporting post-underwriting case progression (e.g. oversight of propertydue-diligence and documentation), as well as supporting post-completion processing and case management (further drawdowns and account reviews).
- Staying abreast of market trends, regulatory changes, and industry developments to inform decision-making and to identify potential improvements to underwriting systems, policies and procedures.
- Acting as a subject matter expert, working with colleagues from across the business, on project teams to develop, test and implement improvements to systems and processes.
A bit about you – You are/have most of the following:
- Extensive experience in credit underwriting within the banking or financial services sector covering a variety of sectors, including Real Estate.
- Strong analytical skills, understanding of credit risk principles, financial analysis techniques and lending regulations.
- Proven track record of making sound credit decisions using a significant mandate and managing credit risk in a commercial lending environment.
- Exceptional communication, interpersonal and stakeholder management skills.
- Able to work independently and as part of a team, prioritising tasks to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Experience in deputising for senior colleagues and managing more junior colleagues.
- Driven, with a strong desire to exceed expectations.
- Confident - able to be pragmatic and exercise good judgement.
