Are you a credit risk professional who enjoys turning complex portfolio data into meaningful business insight? Do you want a role that combines portfolio analytics, stakeholder engagement, strategic reporting and real influence across the business? A leading financial services organisation is looking for an experienced Senior Credit Portfolio Analytics Manager to join a high-performing Portfolio Management function supporting oversight and development of a large UK credit portfolio (retail and corporate).
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong credit portfolio analytics experience who can connect model outputs, portfolio performance and macroeconomic trends into clear, decision-ready insight for senior stakeholders.
The Opportunity
Working within a collaborative and highly visible team, you will play a key role in shaping how portfolio performance, emerging risks and forward-looking trends are understood across the organisation. You will lead portfolio analysis and reporting across retail, SME and corporate portfolios, helping senior stakeholders understand what is driving portfolio movements, where risks are emerging and what actions should follow. Alongside this, you will hold first-line Model Owner responsibilities for key UK credit models, ensuring outputs are appropriately governed, understood and translated into meaningful business insight. This role offers broad exposure across Credit, Risk, Finance, Analytics, Data and Technology functions, as well as regular engagement with senior committees and leadership teams.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading analysis of credit portfolio performance, asset quality trends and emerging risks
- Producing executive and committee-ready MI, commentary and portfolio insight
- Interpreting model outputs including IFRS 9, IRB, grading and stress testing impacts
- Connecting macroeconomic developments and portfolio trends into forward-looking assessments
- Enhancing reporting, dashboards and portfolio MI capabilities
- Acting as first-line Model Owner for nominated UK credit models
- Partnering with stakeholders across Credit, Risk, Finance, Data and Technology
- Supporting regulatory, capital and impairment-related reporting and analysis
- Leading and developing a small team within a collaborative environment
What We’re Looking For
We are interested in speaking with candidates who bring a combination of analytical capability, commercial awareness and strong communication skills. You will likely have experience in:
- Credit portfolio analytics or portfolio risk management
- Credit risk reporting, impairment analysis or portfolio oversight
- IFRS 9, IRB, grading or credit model outputs
- Presenting insight and recommendations to senior stakeholders
- Working across multiple business areas in a fast-paced environment
You’ll also bring:
- Strong Excel and data analysis capability
- Experience using BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau or QlikView
- The ability to simplify complex information into clear business narratives
- A hands-on and collaborative approach suited to a lean, high-performing team
- Previous model governance or first-line model ownership exposure would be advantageous, though this is not a pure modelling role.
Why Join?
This is a genuinely varied and visible opportunity within a growing and evolving function. You’ll have the chance to influence how portfolio insight is delivered across the UK business while working closely with senior stakeholders on strategic and regulatory priorities.
The organisation offers:
- Competitive salary and bonus potential
- Excellent pension and benefits package
- Hybrid working model
- Strong internal career development opportunities
- A collaborative and supportive culture
Location & Working Pattern
This role is based in London and operates on a hybrid working model with 3 days per week onsite.
