This is a highly challenging role within UK Banking at the leading edge of the management of UK Banking’s Risk Portfolio.
The output from Portfolio Management assists senior management with a diverse range of strategic business issues. The role will expose the jobholder to all areas of Portfolio Management’s activities and thereby will provide considerable learning opportunities, scope to develop a practical understanding of UK Banking strategy and build relationships with many areas of UK Retail Banking.
Portfolio Management (PM) has responsibility for determining the overall shape of the credit risk portfolios within its remit.

The main responsibilities of the jobholder are:
• Support senior members of the Portfolio Management team to embed risk appetite and mandate and scale within client SBU(s)
• Support the development of Portfolio Strategy and origination policy to optimise risks and rewards within agreed risk appetite
• Provide credit risk and portfolio management support in the analysis and development of new products, business strategies and individual transactions
• Represent Portfolio Management at SBU Financial Risk Management Committees
