Credit Risk is one of the fastest-growing areas of the risk world, largely driven by the confluence of advanced tech and regulation, shifting consumer dynamics, and economic uncertainty.
Thankfully, this uncertain landscape represents a wealth of opportunity for leaders across financial services, provided they can develop defensible risk functions. Those who can fortify their operational resilience will likely enjoy:
Increased investor confidence
Enhanced profitability
Improved regulatory compliance
Increased customer trust
A culture of risk awareness
High-quality, data-driven decision-making
Continuous learning and development
A sustainable talent pipeline
If you’re hoping to build out a Credit Risk function, it’s important to understand the evolving skill sets of the modern candidate. Coding skills (proficiency in SQL and Python specifically) are increasingly targeted by hiring managers, largely a result of the uptake in enterprise-level tech adoption. Here’s a breakdown of the key roles to prioritise:
Credit Risk Leadership: Provides strategic vision and guidance for the Credit Risk team. Develops and implements comprehensive risk management frameworks, ensuring adherence to regulations and fostering a robust culture of risk awareness throughout the organisation.
Portfolio Risk Managers: Oversee designated credit risk portfolios, leading complex transaction assessments and managing teams of Credit Risk Analysts.
Credit Risk Analysts: Conduct thorough credit analyses of borrowers, develop credit risk models and mitigation strategies, and make informed recommendations on loan approvals.
Senior Credit Analysts: Analyse financial data and credit reports, assess borrower creditworthiness, and prepare comprehensive credit risk reports for senior management.
Quantitative Credit Risk Analyst: Utilises data science and machine learning to identify and quantify emerging credit risks, build credit risk models, and contribute to the development of risk mitigation strategies.

Business is booming in Dublin. From the rapidly expanding Fintech landscape, to the thriving tech sector, there are plenty of opportunities for anyone hoping to carve out a career in a truly astonishing city. Dublin is an attractive prospect for overseas talent, boasting a high standard of living and extremely competitive wages, particularly in the world of business enablement and business protection.
A business-friendly tax scheme (one of the lowest corporate tax rates in all of Europe) and a sturdy economy make the city an enticing prospect for entrepreneurs, and as a hotspot for ambitious tech companies, there’s a wealth of talent to tap into. It’s not just the business benefits that convince investors and individuals to flock to Dublin, it’s the city itself. With an unmistakable charm, a unique beauty, and an energy that you scarcely find anywhere on the planet, Dublin is a hub of culture.
Here at Broadgate, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed delivering staffing solutions to businesses all over Dublin, and we’ve had a great time establishing our presence in the city. We like to be in the heart of the action, and while we work hard to make sure our flexible working policy is reliable, we recognise the value of a strong physical presence in the markets that you’re working in. Our Dublin office is home to a passionate bunch of highly specialised consultants, all of whom have a wealth of experience in recruiting for risk and analytics, finance, accounting and audit, compliance, legal and financial crime, transformation and change, and other areas relating to business protection and business enablement.
Among soaring demand for talent, the threat of a looming recession, and the incredible growth of sectors in the city, Dublin’s companies are going to need to pull out all the stops to secure the right candidates. This can make it difficult for companies struggling with their talent pipeline, particularly those who are looking to scale quickly and build diverse teams.
The recruitment process can take its toll on time, money, and team morale if you keep getting it wrong. The consequences of a bad hire are wide-reaching, and they can be hard to undo. Here at Broadgate, we use a community-led, diversity-focussed hiring methodology to ensure that we pinpoint the best people for the job, while making the best possible impact on the wider world.
A lot of the time, internal hiring managers will rely heavily on their personal networks to source candidates, or they’ll resort to a range of job boards (which everyone else has access to), and this means they’re in no position to benefit from the potential of a wider talent pool. Whether you’re looking to fill exceptionally niche finance director jobs in Dublin, or you’re just moving to the city and want to start a new career, we can utilise our expansive, exclusive, and reliable talent network to find you the best opportunities.
If you’re looking for a Dublin recruitment agency, or perhaps rather, a global staffing agency with a presence in Dublin, then please reach out to the team today, we’re here to help.
