Key Responsibilities: Credit & Counterparty (Anchor/Buyer) Risk — primary mandate: Anchor assessment: Conduct end-to-end credit assessments of prospective and existing anchors, classifying each by type (public company, private with no formal agreement, private with formal agreement) and applying the appropriate assessment track.

Limit setting: Recommend and calibrate exposure limits, tenors, and maximum single-invoice sizes using payables volume, concentration ceilings, and existing facility exposure.

Evidence & verification: Analyse purchase orders, invoices, vendor bank statements, credit bureau reports (CRC / FirstCentral), and CAC records, including mandatory charges-register searches, to evidence every credit decision.

Operations: Transaction ops: Support daily transaction operations across invoice onboarding, verification, disbursement, and collections, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to agreed workflows. Reconciliation: Reconcile payments received against outstanding invoices and financier positions, investigating and resolving discrepancies. Record integrity: Maintain accurate, auditable records of anchors, vendors, facilities, and limits within the company’s systems. Controls, Compliance & Reporting Internal controls: Maintain and enforce internal controls across the credit and operations workflow, identifying control gaps and recommending improvements. Compliance: Support KYC/AML, CAC verification, PEP screening, and NDPA-compliant handling of counterparty information. Risk MI: Maintain the risk register and produce periodic risk and operations management information (MI) and dashboards for the CCO/COO and EXCO. Continuous improvement: Contribute to policy, procedure, and scorecard refinement as the platform, book, and regulatory environment evolve. Key Deliverables & Success Measures Timely, well-evidenced anchor credit assessments with limit recommendations that withstand EXCO and financier scrutiny.
