Job Description:

Credit Analyst – International Bank (London, City)

We are partnering with a well-established international bank in the City of London to hire a Credit Analyst on a permanent basis.

This is a highly hands-on role within a small, close-knit team. You’ll need to be comfortable taking ownership across the full credit lifecycle and getting involved wherever needed — this is not a siloed environment.

Please note:

  • This role will suit candidates used to working in smaller banks or lean teams
  • It is not suited to candidates from large, highly structured banks where responsibilities are narrowly defined
  • 5 days per week in the office (City of London)
  • No visa sponsorship available
  • You must have prior UK banking experience in a Credit Analyst role

The Role

You will support the Credit & Marketing Manager in managing client relationships and delivering all core credit and marketing activities across the department.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and support new business opportunities
  • Prepare credit applications for Credit Committee and Head Office
  • Respond to queries from internal stakeholders including Head Office
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, following up on information and requests
  • Liaise with Credit Administration and external lawyers to ensure facility agreements are executed correctly
  • Produce departmental reports for management and Head Office
  • Plan and attend client meetings, including renewal discussions
  • Conduct credit reviews of existing clients
  • Complete all KYC/CDD documentation for lending activities
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date credit files
  • Support the wider team with additional duties as required

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Credit Analyst within a UK bank
  • Strong credit analysis skills across lending products
  • Experience preparing facility agreements
  • Ability to manage end-to-end credit processes
  • Confident working directly with clients and internal stakeholders
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with a willingness to “roll up your sleeves”

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and visibility within a small banking environment where you can genuinely make an impact.
