Job Description
Analyze credit risk and portfolio data to identify top and emerging risks and trends within the commercial book.
Support the preparation of monthly and quarterly risk reporting for various stakeholders, and respond to ad-hoc requests from partners across the business.
Contribute to deep-dive analyses on industry sectors within the commercial portfolio (e.g., commercial real estate), including supporting related data infrastructure and tooling work.
Build hands-on skills across the full data lifecycle — extraction, transformation, aggregation, interpretation and recommendation — with an emphasis on translating data into credit risk business decisions.
Participate in analytics design sessions: contribute ideas, gather and document business requirements, and help shape the reporting frameworks behind effective risk management.
Apply technical tools — including Excel, SQL, Python and data visualization software — to support credit risk analysis, with exposure to emerging tools such as generative AI as force-multipliers for the work.
Must-have
Currently enrolled in a post-secondary program in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Finance, Economics, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering or related field).
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail and data accuracy.
Solid technical and data skills, including working knowledge of Excel (advanced formulas and data manipulation), SQL (querying and manipulating large datasets), and Python (data analysis) — you'll be supporting real data preparation and deep-dive work, so a genuine comfort level with these tools matters.
Working knowledge of a data visualization tool, such as Tableau.
Ability to translate complex data into clear, plain-language insights for non-technical stakeholders.
Strong MS Office skills (Excel, PowerPoint, Word).
Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to balance recurring reporting deadlines against ad-hoc requests.
Intellectual curiosity and a self-starter mindset — comfortable learning new tools and asking questions.
Nice-to-have
Familiarity with commercial lending concepts and credit risk fundamentals (e.g., credit assessment, risk ratings, portfolio risk management).
Exposure to financial statement analysis.
Understanding of macroeconomic trends and their impact on credit and commercial portfolios.
Familiarity with the financial services industry.
Hands-on experience with generative AI or LLM tools, and an interest in applying AI to credit risk analytics.
Exposure to large-scale enterprise data environments, such as an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), Enterprise Data Lake (EDL) or Hadoop-based platforms.
