• Present and defend credit cases before the Credit Approval Committee; ensure all applicable conditions precedent are satisfactorily met prior to closing and funding
• Review GCMS entries and covenant compliance tracking; review legal documentation with a focus on credit terms including covenants, collateral, amortization, interest rates, and other special provisions
