Save Job

This position is responsible for due diligence, analytical and underwriting support, writing Credit Approval Memorandums ("CAM"), recommending and presenting to the Credit Committee decisions on Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") transactions, up to a highly complex level. CRE loan transactions include acquisitions, ground-up construction, repositioning, lease-up, and stabilized collateral assets. The analyst must ensure the portfolio remains creditworthy, compliant with the Credit Policy, and aligned with strategic targets, as dictated by management. Understanding and applying OCC ("Office of the Comptroller of the Currency") guidance and regulatory expectations is a critical part of being a Senior CRE Credit Analyst.

Although there is no direct supervisory responsibility, the position also may assist the CRE Credit Manager in the training and oversight of Junior Credit Analysts specializing in CRE. The individual must be fully experienced in all aspects of credit analysis. The major difference between this position and a Credit Analyst is the depth of experience, ability, and independent judgment that are required.
