We’re looking for an experienced lender with sound analytical and technical credit skills, strong commercial awareness and the ability to help shape complex deals to create fair customer outcomes. In addition, you’ll bring securitisation expertise, alongside the desire to improve processes and policies to increase efficiency and provide insight across the portfolio.
In addition, you’ll need knowledge of product and transaction types, including repos, margin loans, derivatives, synthetic and true sale securitisation structures. Alongside this, you’ll bring the ability to read, understand and challenge legal securitisation documentation.
You’ll also need:
