Risk Manager
Your morning begins with reviewing the enterprise risk register for a large NBFC, evaluating a concentration risk flag raised by the credit team — a single group borrower now representing 18% of the loan book. Afternoons are spent presenting a quarterly Board Risk Committee report, conducting a stress test on the portfolio under a 200bps rate hike scenario, and reviewing a new business product's risk assessment before it goes to the product approval committee.
