• Modelling & data: excellent command of Excel; comfortable building/auditing simple cash-flow models; ability to handle large datasets and produce cross-country comparisons (Power BI/SQL basics are a plus).


• Credit writing: clear, well-structured and well-argued credit memos, including recommendations (borrower/obligor rating, outlook, key risks/mitigants, early warning indicators).


• Languages: professional working proficiency in English; French, Italian and Spanish are a plus.


• Education: Master’s degree (business school, engineering school or university) with a specialization in finance, public economics or risk management.
