Job Summary

This role exists to support sustainable retail portfolio growth by making prudent, timely and consistent credit decisions for mortgage and wealth management products. The role evaluates customers’ creditworthiness, risk exposure, affordability and application quality to ensure lending decisions align with the Bank’s credit policies, risk appetite, regulatory obligations and business objectives.

The role balances risk management with customer experience by ensuring credit applications are assessed accurately, efficiently and consistently. It contributes to portfolio quality, operational effectiveness and business growth through sound underwriting judgement, risk assessment and continuous process improvement.

The role also supports the evolution of credit operations by identifying opportunities to improve turnaround times, strengthen controls, support product launches and contribute to operational initiatives that enhance service delivery and decision-making effectiveness. Where applicable, the role provides operational guidance, supports team capability development and helps maintain underwriting consistency across the function.

•    Provide underwriting expertise that supports business growth initiatives, marketing campaigns and new product introductions.

•    Resolve credit-related queries and exceptions by collaborating with relevant stakeholders to achieve balanced customer and risk outcomes.

•    Contribute operational insights to projects and initiatives that improve the effectiveness of the end-to-end lending process.

Governance, Compliance & Controls

•    Maintain accurate documentation and audit readiness to support transparency and regulatory compliance.

•    Support governance activities that strengthen underwriting consistency, policy adherence and operational risk management.

Motivations
