Credit Risk Analyst

The role

You will take a lead role in the credit risk management of a public and private REIT debt portfolio from an independent risk perspective. The position sits across transaction review, ongoing monitoring, internal ratings, and portfolio risk oversight.

Key responsibilities include:

• assessing and challenging new and existing investments from a credit risk standpoint, particularly across REITs and real estate finance

• monitoring portfolio performance and making risk management recommendations

• assigning and reviewing internal credit ratings

• contributing to the development and maintenance of internal rating methodologies and credit models

• presenting clear, well-structured risk recommendations to senior stakeholders

• building strong relationships across investment, origination and senior management teams

Over time, there is scope to broaden into adjacent asset classes such as commercial real estate loans, project finance and structured finance.

What we’re looking for

Candidates should typically have 5 to 7+ years’ experience gained in the buy side, banking, or at a rating agency, with strong exposure to REITs and real estate finance.

You should bring:

• strong credit analysis and financial modelling capability

• a very good understanding of commercial real estate and property-backed lending

• experience of portfolio monitoring, internal ratings, or credit risk oversight

• the confidence to challenge transactions and present views credibly to senior stakeholders

• excellent judgement, attention to detail, and strong communication skills

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step into a broad, visible role at the intersection of credit risk, ratings, and illiquid asset investing.
