Job Title: Risk Management Officer

The Complex
Private Sector Credit Enhancement Facility (PSF):

  • The PSF is a captive credit risk participation facility that participates in the credit risks of the AfDB’s Non Sovereign Operations (NSOs) in countries eligible to borrow from the African Development Fund (ADF) – namely low income countries. 
  • Given its current capital base, the PSF’s target portfolio size stands at UA 1.1 billion of credit exposures.
  • Given the specific nature of the PSF as a risk participant in the Bank’s NSO, the ADF Board of Directors exercises oversight over the Facility and approves risk participations by the Facility in each NSO in compliance with the PSF Framework and Guidelines. 
  • The PSF Administrator (PSFA) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the PSF and for mobilizing additional resources to increase the Facility’s risk bearing capacity.
  • The PSF is financially and operationally autonomous with a total separation of resources from those of the ADB and the ADF. It sources certain middle and back-office functions from the ADB. 
  • The PSFA works closely with relevant departments to ensure these functions are performed in a timely manner and in line with applicable standards and ensure that it meets all performance and financial planning, reporting and audit requirements. The PSF requires in-house risk management capacity to ensure it maintains adequate second line management functions distinct from those of the Bank.

The Position

  • Under the Supervision of the PSF Administrator, the objective of Risk Management Officer (RMO) is to ensure all round risk management in the Facility’s management- with emphasis on the PSF’s core-business of credit risk taking, treasury management and asset and liability management functions. 
  • The RMO ensures the integrity of financial risk models and the reasonableness of assumptions used in each risk participation, analyses the portfolio on the evolution of the risk profile and the PSF’s risk bearing capacity and ensures that the Facility’s capital adequacy, risk profile, treasury risk, as well as Asset and Liability Management functions are performed on time and effectively. 
  • The jobholder ensures compliance with the PSF risk management requirements, optimizes the sizing of individual risk participations recommended with regard to various portfolio quality and performance parameters, and formulates, review and update policies, guidelines and procedures relating to the PSF’s risk management and capital adequacy.
  • The job entails a high-level professional knowledge and understanding of financial risk (credit and asset and liability management) related to non-sovereign operations. This is a project position, not a regular position.

Responsibilities
The key duties and responsibilities of Risk Management Officer are to:

  • Process and analyze data and perform other related duties in support of credit risk measurement, assessment, monitoring and management for the Private Sector Facility.
  • Monitor credit risks of the PSF portfolio analyzing the evolution of the risk profile and country, sector and obligor concentrations, the adequacy of provisions and risk capital required to support the non-sovereign credit exposure.
  • Prepare at a glance reports and tables of exposure indicators;
  • Maintain and update the PSF’s stand-alone models.
  • Monitor and review PSF treasury and liquidity position, for committed and uncommitted capital.
  • Prepare financial projections for PSF.
  • Undertake data processing and computational work required in support of quarterly and annual PSF risk reviews.
  • Coordinate with the Risk organizational units to collect all the necessary risk information.
  • Coordinate with the Treasury Department as regards management of the PSF treasury.
  • Coordinate with the Financial Control Department as regards production of financial statements and billing.
  • Coordinate the preparation of relevant ALM and risk reports and decision-making documents.
  • Contribute to the preparation and review of PSF guidelines in respect of risk, treasury management, and Asset and Liability Management aspects.
  • Take a leadership role in the preparation of the rating of the Facility.
