High visibility with executive-level stakeholders and governance committees ensures strategic influence and career growth. Success will be measured by the ability to deliver actionable insights, strengthen risk oversight, and embed robust processes that enhance portfolio quality. Operating in a dynamic matrix environment, the role demands strong stakeholder management skills, advanced quantitative and analytical capabilities, and experience in reporting and strategic KPI development. Exposure to stress testing and scenario analysis, combined with adaptability for integration projects and out-of-the-box thinking, will be key to thriving in this position.

The incumbent will engage with both frontline credit businesses (downstream) and governance committees (upstream), including the Cluster Credit Committee, Executive Credit Committee, and Group Credit Committee at Board level. Success in this role requires a self-starter with strong independence, capable of delivering actionable insights to senior stakeholders while effectively managing within a complex matrix environment.
