Following training, the Associate Commercial Credit Analyst will interact with automotive dealership personnel and internal stakeholders to gather information and perform in-depth financial evaluations.

Along the way, the Associate Commercial Credit Analyst will receive ongoing developmental feedback, build relationships, and gain exposure to other functions. This includes exposure to local management and executive leadership to gain insight into strategic decision-making processes. Additionally, mentorship will be available to provide guidance and support from seasoned professionals committed to helping you succeed.
