Associate Underwriter – Diversified Industries

Commercial & Corporate Banking

We’re looking for an Associate Underwriter to join a fast-growing Diversified Industries team within a leading Commercial Banking platform.

You’ll work with commercial operating companies across sectors like C&I, construction, engineering, manufacturing, and food & beverage (non–real estate), supporting a mix of new and existing lending transactions — from straightforward bilateral facilities through to large, more complex syndicated deals

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys getting close to the detail, understanding how businesses really operate, and being involved in transactions from end to end.

What you’ll be doing

• Reviewing financials and credit information to understand risk and lending needs
• Building financial models and writing clear, thoughtful credit recommendations
• Helping structure lending solutions that work for both the client and the bank
• Keeping a close eye on portfolio performance and flagging risks early
• Working day-to-day with Relationship Managers on live deals and ongoing client relationships

Why people enjoy this role

• The business is growing quickly, so there’s always something new to work on
• You’ll get real exposure to deals and relationships, not just “back-office” credit work
• As the team grows, you’ll take on more responsibility and start leading underwriting alongside Relationship Managers
• There’s flexibility in how your career develops — whether you want to stay in underwriting or move into a Relationship Manager role over time
• With multiple partner groups growing in parallel, there are longer-term opportunities to move into other areas of the business if that interests you

What they’re looking for

• Around 3–4 years’ experience in credit, underwriting, or commercial / corporate lending
• Strong financial analysis skills and the ability to write clear, practical credit papers
• Experience working with commercial businesses across a range of industries
• A degree in Finance, Accounting, Business or similar (or equivalent experience)
• Someone who’s comfortable working independently, but enjoys being part of a collaborative team

If you’re looking for a role where you can build strong credit experience, stay close to the commercial side of the business, and grow as the platform grows, this is well worth a conversation.
