You will be empowered to work collaboratively with global counterparts, internal stakeholders, and external agent banks, fostering an environment of shared knowledge and communal problem-solving across regions.
What you'll do:
As Director - Portfolio Risk Manager, your day-to-day responsibilities will centre around providing independent oversight of both transaction-level and portfolio-level risks within the Global Structured Solution business. You will play a crucial role in maintaining rigorous credit administration standards by ensuring all relevant documentation is accurately archived. Your keen analytical abilities will be put to use as you monitor deal covenants, conduct annual rating reviews on loan facilities, analyse asset impacts on collateral, and assess early warning indicators. Regular communication with internal experts will help you deliver insightful transaction-specific rating reviews. On a broader scale, you will review portfolio risks—including concentration, correlation, and stress testing—while evaluating pipeline trades for their impact on overall exposure. You will also design comprehensive reporting materials for key risk meetings and contribute APAC metrics to global platforms. By highlighting thematic trends in the portfolio, you will support strategic construction decisions. Additionally, your involvement in event-driven management scenarios such as collateral substitutions or default events ensures timely responses aligned with governance standards. Your collaborative approach will foster strong relationships across functions and regions as you help develop tools that advance risk measurement capabilities.
Provide comprehensive oversight of credit administration and management by ensuring accurate receipt and archiving of transaction information such as financials, compliance certificates, and valuation reports in close collaboration with Credit Management teams.

Conduct thorough risk analysis on received information, assessing asset impacts on collateral and financing structures to identify potential vulnerabilities.
Monitor Early Warning Indicators (EWI) proactively and escalate concerns promptly to safeguard against emerging risks within transactions.

Review GSS portfolio risk comprehensively, including concentration, correlation, and stress testing on key risk drivers to ensure balanced exposure across the business.
Evaluate pipeline trades for risk correlation and marginal impact on the existing portfolio, contributing valuable input into portfolio construction strategies.
Design, prepare, and circulate detailed transaction- and portfolio-level reporting materials for risk meetings such as Fund Forum and Quarterly Risk Review sessions.
Input APAC transaction risk metrics into global reporting systems while highlighting thematic trends that support strategic decision-making at both regional and global levels.
