  • Support business development processes as a subject matter expert-participating in scoping calls, tailoring proposals, and presenting program solutions
  • Act as the first point of contact for content, technical, or process questions related to SME and consumer credit, strengthening client trust and program effectiveness


You May be a Good Fit if You Have:
  • Extensive SME and consumer lending experience from a commercial bank, investment bank, rating agency, financial regulator, or similar financial institution
  • Excellent presentation and listening skills, with confidence teaching complex topics to diverse audiences (virtual and in-person)
  • You are an effective communicator with a passion for education and demonstrable impact on learner outcomes
  • A desire to expand subject matter expertise and continuously improve classroom facilitation skills


What Would Make You Stand Out:
  • Experience designing or delivering credit training programs or internal capability-building initiatives
  • Facility with varied instructional methods and learning technologies to engage different learner profiles
  • Strong professionalism and cultural awareness, with experience working across geographies and client types
  • A desire to innovate-bringing fresh ideas to course design, delivery, and assessment


Why Choose Fitch:
  • A Culture of Learning & Mobility: Dedicated trainings, leadership development and mentorship programs designed to ensure that your time at Fitch will be a continuous learning opportunity
  • Investing in Your Future: Retirement planning and tuition reimbursement programs that empower you to achieve your short and long-term goals
  • Promoting Health & Wellbeing: Comprehensive healthcare offerings that enable physical, mental, financial, social, and occupational wellbeing
  • Supportive Parenting Policies: Family-friendly policies, including a generous global parental leave plan, designed to help you balance career and family life effectively
  • Inclusive Work Environment: A collaborative workplace where all voices are valued, with Employee Resource Groups that unite and empower our colleagues around the globe
  • Dedication to Giving Back: Paid volunteer days, matched funding for donations and ample opportunities to volunteer in your community
