Your impact at MUFG

The Credit Analysis team is the Bank's first line of defence, sitting alongside CIB bankers to promote an optimal risk / return on the bank's lending opportunities. The department comprises 50+ individuals organised across five sector-oriented teams. Each Credit Analyst is responsible for managing the risk exposure of an EMEA wide portfolio. Analysts work with Front Office counterparts on live transactions and portfolio monitoring to identify and mitigate risks associated with the counterparty, deal structure, documentation, industry and macroeconomic environment.

CAD supports analyst progression through a commitment to learning and development, combining on the job experience with internal and external training, including sponsorship of CFA studies. The department draws team members from a wide range of backgrounds, including candidates with accountancy, rating agency and other banking experience.

- The Credit Analyst's role focuses on the preparation of forward-looking fundamental analysis in support of client onboarding, live transactions, facility renewals and annual reviews.

- The Analyst will manage an individual portfolio and, over time, be expected to develop both a sector expertise and deep individual counterparty understanding, facilitating a comprehensive top down and bottom up risk review process.

- The role includes actively monitoring portfolio performance, undertaking regular qualitative and quantitative corporate analysis, conducting client due diligence, developing forecast models and ultimately making recommendations on both internal credit ratings and transaction proposals.

- The role also requires support to strengthen our Continental Europe based operation (MBE) by enhancing its overall risk management framework. This will involve support in identifying and implementing relevant best practices and/or processes owned by our First Line of Defence in EMEA.

- The role sits in the General Industries sector team, with the portfolio focused on a wide array of sectors ranging from Capital Goods and Transportation to Infrastructure, Construction, Services or Real Estate.

The role includes the following:

- Participate in credit due diligence as part of the portfolio review process, as well as in the onboarding of new clients and following key risk events.

- Quickly assess pertinent credit issues, raising salient points to the correct stakeholders and analyze the risk reward trade-off.

- Work diligently to develop technical skills and industry knowledge related to the role, working towards sectoral and/or jurisdictional expertise.

- Ensure accurate and timely compliance with internal rules and reporting procedures.

- Demonstrate ability to multi-task and manage ever changing and often conflicting priorities.

- Undertake specific country and industrial sector research and other department/bank wide project work as appropriate.

In order to be successful in the role, you will need the following:

Experience in fundamental credit analysis gained in either a bank, asset manager or rating agency environment. There should be an emphasis on credit analysis in the context of a transaction or event. Alternatively, an ambitious newly qualified ACA looking for a career in banking will be considered.

- Experience working with IG and NIG counterparties. General Industries sector coverage would be viewed favourably, albeit not mandatory.

- A strong quantitative background with a solid understanding of accounting and financial data analysis.

- A clear and concise business writing style reflecting a capacity to distil critical information from large data sources.

- Ability to conduct thorough due diligence and form a forward-looking view using cash flow modelling and stress testing.

- A good understanding of loan and ISDA/CSA documentation, market risk and key credit protections is beneficial.

- Degree level and professional qualifications desirable (e.g. CFA, ACCA, ACA, ACT or similar qualifications). There is scope for MUFG to sponsor professional qualifications such as CFA.

- Fluency in German language in addition to English would be a plus
