Role
Credit Risk Analyst
The hiring challenge
This analyst models the portfolio's risk and designs the policies others apply; a model error propagates to thousands of operations. The challenge is to tell apart who reasons the underlying risk from who only runs models without understanding their assumptions, and who keeps independence in the face of pressure to place more.
What to assess
Quantitative risk reasoning, data and model handling, and independence of judgment in the face of commercial pressure.
