Job Context
Key Aspects:
The Risk team provides core underwriting services fundamental to the ABHFL business health risk management and sustainability.

This role is responsible for setting up requisite underwriting and risk management frameworks and processes for robust and efficient creditworthiness and risk assessment and consequent inputs for business decisions (loan approval/ rejection business expansion etc.)
Key Challenges:

The housing space is characterized by state-wise norms and business practices as well as varied interpretations of regulatory guidelines by different stakeholders. It is therefore essential for the Risk function to remain up to date on business practices/ norms across the country and work within regulatory guidelines in a manner that minimizes business risk and also supports growth objectives.
