You help the firm grow its business in a responsible way by anticipating new and emerging risks, and using your expert judgement to solve real-world challenges that impact our company, customers and communities. Our culture in Risk Management and Compliance is all about thinking outside the box, challenging the status quo and striving to be best-in-class.
As a Lead Credit Officer - Vice President within Wholesale Credit Risk of J.P.

The position offers a challenging and rewarding environment on a dynamic team where you can leverage your expertise to make a significant impact.
