• Join EY RAPID – ECL Valuation Audit as a graduate and step into the world of IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss (ECL) from day one.

Our clients span multiple geographies in the region, giving you early exposure to different markets, regulatory environments and portfolio types.

• In this role, you will help evaluate how our audit clients design, implement and govern their credit risk models, including Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD). You’ll gain hands‑on exposure to assessing model assumptions, model performance, staging, macro‑economic scenarios and regulatory compliance—bringing numbers, models and judgement together to support trust in financial reporting.

• If you’re analytically minded, eager to learn, and ready to turn data into insight, this is where your career begins. What we look for:

• You have an agile, growth-oriented mindset. What you know matters. But the right mindset is just as important in determining success. We’re looking for people who are innovative, can work in an agile way and keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
• You are curious and purpose driven. We’re looking for people who see opportunities instead of challenges, who ask better questions to seek better answers.
• You are inclusive. We’re looking for people who seek out and embrace diverse perspectives, who value differences, and team inclusively to build safety and trust.
• Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in accounting, Finance, Economics, Business, Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Quantitative Finance, or other related disciplines.
• Strong interest in credit risk, banking and IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss (ECL) frameworks.
• Foundational understanding of credit risk concepts, such as default risk, staging, impairment, portfolio segmentation and loss estimation.
• Basic awareness of ECL model components, including Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at Default (EAD), gained through coursework, projects or internships.
• Understanding of how macroeconomic factors and forward‑looking information influence credit risk and impairment estimates is an advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to work with data, identify issues and communicate conclusions clearly.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Word, particularly for data analysis, documentation and presentations.
• Any exposure to Python, VBA, R or similar analytical tools is a plus.
• Progress towards, or interest in pursuing FRM qualification is desirable.
