About the Team

We are seeking a seasoned Risk Advisory Team Lead to anchor our Mumbai practice and serve as a cornerstone of our client-facing consultancy offering. This senior role requires a proven track record experience spanning consultancy, credit risk methodologies, and stakeholder engagement.

Beyond technical expertise, the successful candidate will be a cultural ambassador for the Mumbai office — fostering collaboration, mentoring junior talent, and providing leadership across other BMI functions within the local team.

Exposure to rating methodologies, credit frameworks, or risk model advisory — is essential, with direct Risk Advisory consultancy experience preferred. This is an opportunity for a commercially minded leader to shape both the team and the client agenda.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

Provide thought leadership as a credit risk subject matter expert, driving innovation and best practices across the business.
Lead delivery through hands-on contributions, collaborating closely with quantitative and analytics experts to achieve high‑quality outcomes.
Provide people leadership, including coaching and development, performance management, and succession planning for the team.
Lead and support recruitment activities to attract and retain high‑calibre talent.
Support pre‑sales activities by contributing subject‑matter expertise and thought leadership to client proposals and engagements.
Foster a high‑performing, inclusive team culture while consistently upholding and role‑modelling organisational values.

You May be a Good Fit if:

Extensive experience in Credit Ratings
Demonstrable client-facing experience with a track record of managing senior stakeholder as a consultant
Strong background in credit risk solutions — including credit frameworks, rating methodologies (e.g. Basel III/IV, RBI guidelines)
Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop teams
Ability to lead and collaborate across non-risk advisory functions within a wider office environment
Cultural leader — capable of embedding and carrying team values across the Mumbai office
Familiarity with regulatory credit risk frameworks
Experience in model governance, documentation, and regulatory review processes

What Would Make You Stand Out:

Demonstrated ability to contribute to business development, pitches, and client proposals
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level reporting and presentation
Experience operating within a matrixed, global organisation
