Commercial Rating and Underwriting (CRU) sits within the Credit and Fraud Risk Management (CFR) division and supports the institutional credit risk management function within American Express.

CRU directors interact with various constituents across the firm including front office sales, business unit risk partners, and credit administration to perform their critical role. Minimum qualifications include a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or statistics, minimum seven years' experience rating and/or underwriting at a leading financial institution or rating agency, expertise as a credit and underwriting decision maker dealing with commercial exposures ranging from small business or middle-market to large, multinational institutions, and thorough understanding of fundamental financial analysis including the ability to review corporate financial statements to determine the ability of the obligor to honor its credit obligations.
