Credit Risk Analyst - Commercial Real Estate

An established buy-side financial institution is seeking an experienced Credit Risk Analyst to join their illiquid Credit team.

The primary responsibility is to lead the credit risk management of the company's public and private Real Estate and REITs debt portfolio.

We are ideally looking for a candidate from a bank, asset manager or rating agency with a strong focus on REITs and real estate finance.

• The role is balanced between credit risk analysis, portfolio management oversight, credit ratings and credit risk modelling. Importantly, it requires a very strong understanding of REITs and commercial real estate financing in general.
• Evaluating and challenging existing and proposed new investments from a risk perspective with a focus on REITs. The role focuses as much on new investments as on monitoring the portfolio, which involves performance reporting as well as risk management recommendations.

• 5+ years of experience in a buy-side sector, bank or rating agency with a strong focus on REITs and real estate finance.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, excellent financial modelling skills, very good understanding of the commercial real estate market
