What you will be doing?
As a Lending Business Analyst, you will be at the heart of Credit Risk projects, coordinating activities and ensuring successful delivery. While your role is not purely project management, you will take responsibility for planning, tracking, and managing key milestones to ensure projects progress smoothly. Your strong understanding of credit risk processes and credit risk policies will be essential in defining requirements, co-designing credit risk processes, and ensuring that solutions align with business goals and regulatory standards. You will work closely with cross-functional teams (Risk, Business, IT, Legal) and external Partners to ensure that both project objectives and risk policies are effectively incorporated into the final deliverables.
Your role will also involve defining credit risk requirements, ensuring they are met during solution development, and supporting the post-deployment process to ensure smooth implementation and ongoing monitoring.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Coordination: Coordinate Credit Risk projects with a focus on lending for SMEs and microentreprises, and other related credit risk processes. This includes planning work, tracking progress, organizing meetings, and ensuring key milestones are met on schedule.
Credit Risk Process Definition: Leverage your deep knowledge of credit risk processes and policies to define business requirements and guide the development of solutions that align with industry best practices and regulatory guidelines.
Cross-Department Collaboration: Facilitate communication and collaboration across Risk, Business, and IT teams, ensuring that both business and technical teams understand credit risk policies and requirements.
Milestone Management & Reporting: Track and report on project progress, ensuring that key milestones are met and communicating any delays or issues that might arise.
Requirements Preparation: Collect, define, and document credit risk requirements, ensuring they are fully understood and implemented in the development of credit risk solutions.
Process Design & Optimization: Co-design and optimize credit risk processes, applications, and workflows to improve efficiency, compliance, and risk management.
Solution Testing & Validation: Support testing and validation of solutions to ensure that they meet both business requirements and credit risk standards. Provide feedback for improvements and adjustments.
Implementation Support: Prepare and maintain documentation for the implementation phase, supporting a smooth deployment and ensuring that all necessary steps are followed.
Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance: After implementation, assist in the monitoring and maintenance of credit risk processes, ensuring continuous alignment with evolving business needs and regulatory requirements.
