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.
