What exactly is "trading credit (risk)"?

Is it supposed to be synonymous with counterparty credit risk? Can't really find anything online (results end up going to credit trading, as in trading corporate bonds). I saw one job post in the OTC derivatives space so I thought surely it was CCR, but I also see it mentioned on a mid office ETFs job - I guess it still could make sense, I'm not super familiar with the redemption/creation process but I imagine there's derivatives used in there.

Tldr: what should I know if the JD asks to demonstrate knowledge of trading credit?
