Credit Risk Analyst – Commodity Trading

We are looking for a proactive and analytically driven Credit Risk Analyst to join our London-based team. This role offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment with a particular focus on clients operating in the commodities sector, especially metals. You will support the Head of Credit in ensuring full compliance with internal credit risk policies and procedures, while fostering a strong risk culture across the business.

The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting detailed credit assessments—both quantitative and qualitative—of new and existing clients including corporates, financial institutions, CCPs, and state-owned enterprises. You will present credit recommendations to the Credit Committee and monitor client exposure against approved limits, recommending mitigation measures as needed. A key part of the role includes overseeing margin call processes, managing breaches of internal controls, and maintaining up-to-date credit documentation.

You will manage a portfolio of commodity-focused clients, regularly reviewing financial and non-financial data to assess risk and inform credit decisions. Staying abreast of macroeconomic developments, particularly those affecting the global metals market, is essential, as is maintaining knowledge of evolving regulatory standards and risk methodologies. Your responsibilities will also include producing daily and monthly credit risk reports, contributing to group-level reporting, and supporting the integration of group policies into local processes. Collaboration with both the market risk team and CCBIH Risk is key, as is participation in system testing to enhance credit monitoring capabilities.
