Senior Credit Officer – Private Banking | Temporary Mission

We are currently recruiting on behalf of a well-established private bank in Geneva, for a Senior Credit Officer to join its Credit Department on a full-time temporary assignment, starting December 1, 2026.

In this role, you will take ownership of complex, tailor-made credit transactions from origination through to closure, working hand in hand with Front Office teams. The mandate is centred on highly leveraged Lombard lending alongside derivative-related exposures, so genuine command of these areas is essential — you'll be called on to analyse, monitor and sign off on individual transactions, acting as part of the credit approval chain.

• Driving the credit underwriting process in close partnership with Front Office
• Building and presenting credit limit proposals for sign-off by the relevant committees
• Tracking Loan-to-Value ratios and margin coverage on derivative positions on an ongoing basis
• Handling elevated-risk exposures and assessing pledged collateral
• Owning day-to-day credit operations: data upkeep, reconciliations, documentation follow-up, and processing of guarantees and credit card requests
• Acting as a go-to credit expert for the Front Office, covering structuring, exception handling, margin calls and knowledge sharing
• Working closely with the Credit Committee, trading desks and Asset Management
• Signing off on drawdowns and cash/securities transfers
• Helping to foster a collaborative, risk-aware team culture and streamline processes
• Feeding into internal reporting through KPIs, statistics and dashboards

• At least 5 years' hands-on experience with complex Lombard lending transactions
• Fluency in French and English, spoken and written
• Strong background in derivatives and structured OTC transactions
• Solid grasp of financial markets, investment products, credit risk and banking operations
• Strong communication and presentation skills
