Credit Manager | Specialist Credit Insurance
Sydney

Big 4 credit experience, without the big 4 bureaucracy

If you've spent years assessing business, commercial, corporate or institutional credit inside one of the major banks, this is a chance to use the same skill set somewhere your judgement carries more weight.

Our client is an authorised general insurer backed by global capacity, with a specialist credit team at the centre of how it writes business. They're hiring a Credit Manager for one of their specialist credit insurance lines, reporting to the Senior Credit Manager.

The role

You'll assess and approve insurance facilities for a growing portfolio of residential builders, from small operators through to clients turning over $100m+. The work is credit, not sales: reading financials, forming a view and making the call.

- Assess recent applications, annual renewals and interim reviews
- Exercise your own credit approval authority
- Structure security to protect the position and support recoveries if a loss occurs
- Work alongside the underwriting team, giving them the commercial and financial view behind each decision




- Monitor the portfolio and help shape credit policy as the book grows
- Support the Senior Credit Manager on reporting, audits and claims
- Coach underwriters on credit thinking

About you

- Currently in, or recently out of, a big 4 bank in business banking, commercial, corporate or institutional credit
- 7+ years in commercial finance, with at least 5 in credit risk
- Strong financial analysis skills, and comfortable talking through the numbers directly with clients and stakeholders
- Ideally you've held a credit approval authority
- Construction or commercial property lending exposure is a strong plus
- Claims experience is useful but not needed

You don't need an insurance background. If you can assess a builder's balance sheet, you can do this job.

Why make the move

- A smaller team, where you sit closer to the decision
- A specialist niche that most bank credit people never see
- A growing portfolio, so the role will broaden with it
