The Loan Review function is an independent 3rd line control function that reports to the Head of Audit for the Americas, who in turns reports to the Natixis Chief Audit Officer in Head Office in Paris, France.

The primary responsibility will be to review all types of loan transactions to assess engagement in acceptable credit standards and lending activities that conform to the Natixis credit policy procedures.

Propose and drive improvements to underwriting, portfolio management, and the credit approval processes.
Prepare Credit Assessment and Review reports and/or Loan Review reports.
Remain current on developments in assigned sectors and contribute to the department's continuous monitoring activities.
Participate in various meetings with Executive Management, Regulators, and at times, Paris Head Office.
Provide direction and mentor other loan review professionals on the team.
Work on ad hoc projects, as requested.
Complete at least 40 hours of training a year (seminars, webcasts) to enhance knowledge in specific sectors and areas of finance.

The salary range for this position will be between $185,000 - $215,000. Natixis is required by law to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role.

Actual base salary will vary and will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, education, skills set, applicable licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.

Natixis also offers a generous benefits package, and you may be eligible for a discretionary incentive award depending on company and individual performance.
