Singapore | Credit Risk Consultant

True North Partners LLP is an independent boutique consulting firm with a presence in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Lisbon, Madrid, Johannesburg, Dubai and Singapore. We have extensive global experience and industry recognition in the financial services, risk management, and finance communities.

True North Partners is uniquely distinct from the typical consultancy firms due to the following:

• Being a boutique consultancy firm focused on risk, finance, and strategy, we deliver innovative concepts and methodologies based on specialist experience and analytical backgrounds.

• Working across multifaceted competencies, we overcome the traditional silo thinking and offer client-specific solutions as well as sustainable implementation development strategies.

• Being people-driven, we allow members of all levels to actively participate in the running and development of our firm.

What we offer:

Our company is built for and around its people – we try to find individual setups that work for both sides. A sense of ownership for the firm is a central tenet of our overall behaviour. In particular, we offer:

• Challenging projects with leading financial institutions around the globe, where we are at the forefront of innovation in products and methodologies

• A motivating, inspiring and team-oriented work environment with co-workers from a variety of hemispheres and backgrounds

• The opportunity to help shape a unique, professional environment with flat hierarchies and superior career opportunities

• Competitive remuneration
