Credit Monitoring Quality Control Associate

Make a direct impact on credit risk by ensuring covenant monitoring is accurate, consistent, and defensible. In this role, you help protect our clients and the firm by confirming whether borrowers are meeting the terms of their credit agreements—or identifying when they are not. You will bring strong judgment, attention to detail, and financial analysis skills to a team that values partnership, accountability, and continuous improvement. 

As a Credit Monitoring Quality Control Associate within Wholesale Lending Services, you review and validate the work performed by credit monitoring analysts to confirm covenant compliance results align with the borrower’s credit agreement terms. You provide a secondary interpretation of financial and other covenants, independently re-perform key calculations, and clearly communicate issues to drive timely correction and resolution. You will support monitoring across syndicated loans and bilateral agreements while helping strengthen quality practices and controls.
