Additionally, you will prepare analytical credit memoranda, support regulatory change impact analyses, and mentor junior consultants.

We are seeking candidates with a Master’s degree in Business Administration (Finance/Economics) or a CA qualification, complemented by 3-8 years of relevant experience in financial analysis or risk-related roles. A foundational understanding of financial statements, core credit risk principles, and familiarity with project finance, corporate, or sovereign risk concepts are essential.

Advanced proficiency in Excel is required, with a foundational knowledge of Power BI and/or SQL being a significant advantage. You should possess a working knowledge of Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance, and Financial Reporting frameworks. Excellent communication, interpersonal skills, and the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly are vital for collaborating effectively with diverse stakeholders, including senior leadership. An automation and innovation mindset, with a willingness to improve processes and tools, is highly valued.
