This person will report directly to the Global Head of Credit Risk (who is based in the US) and will manage a small London-based team.

<li>Credit evaluation and risk assessment of complex structured finance and derivative transactions in a deal-oriented environment (Power, PPAs: wind &amp; Solar, and Renewables Certificates).</li>

<li>Assist in creating reports from the CRisk, as well as other ad-hoc credit reporting.</li>
</ul>
