Wholesale Credit Risk Associate - Stress Testing

Job Description

At JPMorgan Chase, risk professionals don't just manage risk — they anticipate it, challenge assumptions, and help the firm grow responsibly. As part of our Risk Management and Compliance organization, you will be at the center of keeping JPMorgan Chase strong and resilient, using your expert judgment to solve real-world challenges that impact our company, customers, and communities. This is a high-visibility opportunity to influence wholesale credit loan loss estimation while collaborating with senior executives and cross-functional partners across one of the world's leading financial institutions.

As a Wholesale Credit Risk Loan Loss Forecasting Associate in the Commercial & Investment Bank Risk organization, you will play a critical role in shaping the integrity and quality of the firm's wholesale credit loan loss estimates — spanning over $1 trillion in client exposure across diverse lines of business and industry segments. You will collaborate with senior executives and partners across Risk, Finance, and the broader firm to deliver high-quality analytics and methodology insights that inform quarterly allowance and stress testing exercises. You will be part of a diverse, talented, and global team where your ideas are welcomed, your voice matters, and your work has direct, measurable impact on firmwide risk and finance programs.
