Job Context

Key Aspects:

The Risk team provides core underwriting services fundamental to the ABHFL business health, risk management and sustainability. Structured as a dual to the Sales/ Sourcing team, with positions mapped against corresponding Sales roles across the organization, the Risk team is responsible for necessary controls and process checks to ensure business performance and health.
While the core responsibility for this function is to control the business via robust underwriting and risk management, supporting business expansion via joint evaluation of different product/ market growth proposals with the Sales team is also an important contribution.
The Head - Risk plays a vital role in securing the organization against diverse risks in the course of business operations. This role is responsible for setting up requisite underwriting and risk management frameworks and processes for robust and efficient creditworthiness and risk assessment, and consequent inputs for business decisions (loan approval/ rejection, business expansion, etc.)

Key Challenges

While the ABFL Mortgages team also works with retail customers in the property space, the ABHFL business is exposed to the additional Construction Risk, i.e. risk from under construction projects not getting completed as planned. The Risk Team must factor for this when designing and executing control mechanisms and evaluating business proposals.
ABHFL is in its inception phase as a company and in the midst of rapid growth. The Risk function must therefore be able to balance priorities of risk management and business growth efficiently, without increasing sub-prime exposures or impacting business health and sustainability.
The housing space is characterized by state-wise norms and business practices, as well as varied interpretations of regulatory guidelines by different stakeholders. It is therefore essential for the Risk function to remain up to date on business practices/ norms across the country and work within regulatory guidelines in a manner that minimizes business risk and also supports growth objectives.

Enabling Skill Sets & Qualifications

Critical skill sets required to meet these challenges include strong business and commercial acumen, analytical skills, good stakeholder management and presentation skills, and team management and execution capabilities.
Education & experience required to fulfil this profile are a CA/ MBA - Finance with minimum 4-7 yrs of experience in a bank/ NBFC/ HFC, of which at least recent 2- 3 yrs experience should be in managing risk and underwriting in an HFC.
