Our Client
Our client is a growing financial services business with a strong focus on supporting Australian businesses through a range of commercial lending solutions.
Operating in a fast-paced, progressive setting, the business continues to grow and offers Credit Analysts the opportunity to work exclusively across business lending, rather than splitting their time between consumer and commercial credit.

You will analyse bank statements, financial statements and supporting information, identify key credit risks and prepare structured credit recommendations in line with lending policy and risk appetite.
You will also work closely with BDMs, internal relationship teams, customers and brokers to understand transactions, clarify information and help structure appropriate commercial lending solutions.
Key responsibilities will include:
Assessing commercial and SME lending applications
Analysing bank statements, financial statements and cash flow
Identifying key credit risks and documenting findings
Preparing structured credit recommendations
Working within DLA where applicable, or escalating for approval
Structuring commercial lending solutions in line with credit policy
Working across a variety of products including Asset Finance and Line of Credit
Partnering with BDMs and internal stakeholders on transaction assessment

Previous commercial or SME credit assessment experience
Exposure to business lending, rather than purely consumer credit
Experience analysing bank statements and financial statements
Strong cash flow analysis and financial interpretation skills
Understanding of commercial credit risk and lending structures
Previous commercial or business lending DLA would be highly regarded
Confidence dealing with BDMs, brokers and customers
