Job Description
About the Role!
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Lloyds Banking Group team as a Credit Officer who plays a central role in supporting customers and Coverage deliver their growth objectives sustainably and with a clear focus on risk.
The team is responsible for the credit management of a portfolio of corporate clients in the Construction Sector with complex and varied financing arrangements; as well as supporting CIB in generating new business and maintaining the credit quality of the existing portfolio.
Due to the nature of the client portfolio the role requires frequent engagement with senior internal and external stakeholders.
What you'll be doing...
- Managing an active portfolio of counterparties (some of the largest companies in the UK) in the Construction sector.
- Undertaking independent credit assessments of lending proposals (new opportunities and annual reviews) and developing a recommendation for presentation to sanctioners. This involves identifying, analysing, and succinctly articulating the key risks (financial, structural, operational, environmental), along with a clear recommendation, thus enabling informed decisions to be made.
- Using external research from a variety of sources including specialist information providers, credit rating agencies, and media reports to assess how a customer is positioned within an evolving external environment and identify situations that could increase risk to LBG.
- Collaborating closely with originators, relationship managers, and product partners to shape credit proposals, set credit risk appetite, and to maintain a balance of risk and reward.
- Monitoring portfolio performance, escalating any emerging risks to senior management and other interested parties as appropriate, as well as ensuring compliance with LBG and regulatory policy.
- Partnering with key collaborators to undertake periodic sector reviews aimed at identifying potential areas of weakness as well as opportunity.
- Lead credit focused meetings with external clients as well as internal partners
- Working in a high profile, professional, and demanding environment committed to putting people first, being bold, trusting each other, and embracing our differences.
- Drawing upon your prior Credit experience to help shape and improve team processes.
- Taking advantage of the opportunity to widen your credit experience within the Construction sector.
We support a hybrid way of working which combines home and office based work. Although, most of our colleagues are based in London, we welcome applications from other UK locations.
Here's what we're looking for...
- Good knowledge and significant experience of corporate credit analysis, preferably experienced in covering Construction and Building Materials companies.
- Evidence of relevant credit experience assessing large corporates with a proven track record of consistent performance.
- Strong knowledge of regulatory and compliance requirements.
- Demonstrable high levels of attention to detail, numeracy, and accuracy
- Understand and manipulate complex financial models (strong Excel skills are required).
- Ability to establish strong working relationships and work within a supportive yet ambitious team.
- Communicate effectively at all levels and across different audiences, with strong written and verbal communications skills.
