The role offers significant variety and exposure across a broad range of structured finance transactions. We perform diligence for private financing deals including asset-based lending and forward flow transactions, as well as portfolio sales, significant risk transfers, and full public securitisations. Our clients include banks, investment funds, asset managers, loan origination platforms, and fintech lenders and we work across all asset classes, such as residential and commercial mortgages, auto loans, consumer credit, SME lending, asset finance, and more.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage loan-level due diligence, re-underwriting, and data verification for private securitisation transactions.
• Review and interpret credit files, servicing data and loan documentation to assess credit quality and adherence to underwriting standards.
• Oversee the review of lending policies, assessing alignment with portfolio characteristics and credit risk appetite.
• Take ownership of AUP testing for public securitisations, including planning, execution, and quality control, while managing and mentoring junior team members.
• Oversee the review of investor reporting to assess accuracy and produce recommendations for improvements, including discussion with the client.
• Act as a key point of contact for clients during the day-to-day delivery of transactions, building strong relationships and ensuring clear communication.
• Coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders to agree scopes of work, manage project timelines, budgets, and deliverables.
• Contribute to business development efforts, including supporting with the creation of thought leadership materials.
• Support the development of internal methodologies, tools, and training materials.
