About the position

Wholesale Lending Services (WLS) supports several lines of businesses that include Business Banking, Commercial Bank, Global Wealth Management, and Investment Bank. Credit Monitoring sits within the WLS and provides Credit Compliance Monitoring for the Commercial Banking Loan Portfolio. As a Credit Support Analyst for Commercial Bank, you will be responsible for assessing compliance with credit agreement terms for an assigned portfolio of borrowers. In this role, you will interpret financial and other covenants included in credit agreements to determine whether borrowers are meeting the terms of the credit agreements or are in default. The credit agreements cover syndicated loans and bilateral agreements. Your primary responsibilities will include determining whether corporate borrowers have breached covenants, and as a result, have defaulted on the terms of their credit agreements. You will interpret credit agreements and other legal documents to determine which co-borrowers, guarantors, and other parties to the agreements require setup in the bank's system of record for future covenant compliance evaluation. Additionally, you will perform credit analysis, review documentation, and monitor ongoing compliance with financial covenants within an assigned portfolio of borrowers. You will independently calculate cash flow and leverage ratios in accordance with specific terms laid out in credit agreements and develop a strong knowledge of secured lending products, including borrowing base credit facilities. It will also be your responsibility to determine the grid-based performance pricing that applies to borrowers so the bank gets adequately compensated for credit risk. Adhering to the quality control standards that have been set for the process and to service level agreements WLS has with its internal business partners is crucial for this role.
