As a Climate Analyst at Amalgamated Bank, you’ll have opportunities to puzzle through how to finance world-changing projects led by clients who are striving for a more inclusive, just, and equitable society. We tackle today’s most pressing social issues and use finance as a tool to bring the future our clients envision into the present. The Climate Analyst will work closely with senior underwriters, the origination team and credit risk management in reviewing and analyzing financial models, conducting due diligence, helping structure the transaction, assessing credit risk ratings, preparing deal screen presentations, writing credit approval memorandums, presenting recommendations to credit committee and monitoring, and managing the credit portfolio.
When we come to work, our passion for socially responsible lending means we analyze cash flows and want to know whether deals create affordable housing for working families. We ask whether secondary repayment sources mean that women and their partners can access high-quality healthcare. We are in the fight against climate change, and when we come to work, we structure loans to bring the clean energy future closer day-by-day.
We are searching for applicants who want a job with purpose, who crave impact, and have the analytical chops to solve complex business problems. By joining our team, you’ll be joining a Bank that believes that that maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected is essential for us to grow as a company.
