Your day to day work would involve credit risk analysis and preparing formal credit presentations along with meeting with your RM and/or Credit partners to determine optimum credit solutions. There will also be opportunity to showcase your leadership and presentation skills through various project work.
Please note: The specific level for this Senior Underwriting Manager position (UM5 or UM6) will be determined based on the qualifications of the selected candidate.
