About this position 
We are looking for a Credit Risk Management Officer with strong experience in some of the following areas/industries in order of priority: financial institutions, structured finance and investment funds. What about joining our team? 
The Credit Risk Management (MCR) Division of the Risk Management Department (RSM) is responsible for developing and leading all aspects of credit risk policies, parameters and procedures; reviewing credit and investment proposals submitted to the Department, assessing risk and supporting the internal credit approval process; participating in the project portfolio supervision process to validate risk rating assessments; and strengthening our capacity to identify and balance the credit risk present in its lending operations and treasury activities (including investments and financial derivatives portfolios).  
The MCR Division works closely with Investment Officers and other internal clients to find opportunities to create valuable contributions beyond compliance and risk mitigation to help ensure developmental impact and sustainability. 
 
What you’ll do: 

 
 You will support the origination, execution, and monitoring of transactions in the different areas (financial institutions, investment fund, and structured finance) and provide independent technical risk assessments of IDB Invest’s transactions, identifying issues to be addressed by various business areas and offering potential solutions and alternatives. Perform the independent credit risk and/or investment assessment of sophisticated transactions. This includes reviewing and providing advice on financing structures, financial documents, consultant reports, financial models, and legal documentation to fully assess resulting credit and investment risk and possible mitigants to assigned transactions. Be part of multidisciplinary teams in the analysis of prospective transactions and make recommendations to mitigate the identified key credit risks, as part of the credit approval process. Review and ratify the internal credit risk ratings applicable to the transactions assigned, considering all dimensions involved, including borrower risks, transaction structure risks, and the macro/regulatory environment, as well as the envisioned probability of default, loss-given default, and expected recoveries. Review the portfolio of non-sovereign guaranteed operations and undertake periodic annual reviews. Prepare written credit risk assessments including a credit recommendation on the counterparty's risk profile/rating in accordance with our credit policy and guidelines and documentation standards. Formulate well-reasoned recommendations and persuasively communicate recommendations at required committees and to senior management. Provide mentorship and advice to origination teams by applying best practices and lessons learned from experience with similar transactions. Review and evaluate waivers and amendments presented by the Portfolio Management and Origination Divisions. Work closely with the Special Assets Division on troubled debt restructurings to identify suitable debt restructuring strategies, steer jointly with that Division and other partners in the IDB Invest the recovery efforts, and propose loan provisions. Use analytical tools, risk management models, and methodologies to measure IDB Invest credit risk exposure for assigned projects and ensure that all transactions operate within clearly established limits.
