In this client-facing role within the Structured Finance Portfolio Management team, you’ll be closely managing the credit risk aspects of a dynamic portfolio of new and existing mid-market Corporate and Commercial clients.

You’ll have direct responsibility for your own portfolio as well as line management responsibility for a team who will also be looking after their portfolio clients.

If you’re someone who’s performed a similar role already, this is the perfect opportunity to develop your career by enhancing your skills across a wide-ranging client base.

The difference you’ll make:

• Managing a dynamic, complex and high-risk portfolio of structured finance originated/executed transactions
• Monitoring any adverse trends emerging across your wider team’s portfolio, ensuring a full understanding of any risks is maintained
• Providing a high level of service to identified and dynamic growth clients who are active in the structured finance arena across wide ranging sectors
• Progressing client requests via the preparation of credit submissions or modification papers and presenting to Credit Committees
• Delivering credit risk control and reporting, as well as analysing and monitoring management information, covenant compliance and sector information
• Working with origination teams to support existing clients with new lending requests

What you’ll bring:

• Demonstrable experience of operating in a client-facing portfolio management capacity covering the UK mid-market Leveraged Finance market
• Previous line management experience combined with excellent credit and relationship skills and the ability to undertake financial modelling and sensitivity analysis

It would also be nice for you to have:

• Proven ability to interact with relationship teams, clients and external stakeholders alongside multiple internal stakeholders across risk
• Excellent communication skills both written and oral
• Direct experience of working with client management teams of growing businesses
• Action orientated with well-developed organisational and planning skills

What else you need to know:

This permanent role can be based in Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Liverpool or Manchester.

We want our people to thrive at work and home, and also be able to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and to help each other develop.

To support this, we offer site-based contracts with a hybrid working pattern and our expected level of attendance in an office is at least 12 days per month (pro-rata for part-time roles). (Manchester - 5 days per month)

If you apply for this role, it’s important you consider your travelling distance, time and cost from your home to the office location.

We’re happy to discuss specific working patterns and arrangement within this hybrid approach during the recruitment process.

If you’re interested in this role but with part time hours or a job-share we would still love to hear from you and discuss these.
