• Reviewing client financial reporting and extracting key insights from management information and covenant compliance schedules.
• Engaging directly with clients on loan and risk-related matters in collaboration with Coverage colleagues.
• Identifying early warning signs of credit deterioration and presenting findings and recommendations at portfolio reviews.
• Using data analysis and manipulation skills to enhance portfolio reporting and develop meaningful KPIs.
• Representing Asset Management in CIB-wide projects, articulating business requirements and influencing partners to deliver outcomes aligned with Real Estate strategy.
