June

I work in the Credit Risk Management and Advisory department of the Finance division. Here we protect the firm’s capital by assessing the credit worthiness of counterparties and by managing the level of exposure we have with our counterparties. My areas of focus include covering a portfolio of hedge funds on the industry side and overseeing the funding product team on the risk management side.

Each of us works on multiple product and industry teams, and most of our work is team-based, with shared responsibilities. We have regular meetings to update the rest of the team on individuals’ progress and to share useful information.

We’re given responsibility at a very early stage to participate in long term strategic projects and discussions with traders, as well as to attend external client meetings. We can express our interests in specific areas to managers within the teams, who then try to accommodate our goals where possible when opportunities open up.
