Director - Structured Finance Credit Risk

Overview

We're partnering with a leading investment bank to hire a Director-level professional to help build an in-business credit risk capability within Structured Finance.

This is a front-office aligned role, focused on strengthening counterparty and platform credit assessment, governance and ongoing monitoring across complex structured financing activity. You'll work across the full deal lifecycle - from upfront diligence and approval through to post-trade oversight - ensuring key risks are identified early and managed consistently, rather than being split across product silos.

Key focus areas

• Credit assessment of counterparties, platforms and corporate risks, including enhanced due diligence where needed
• Oversight of controls and governance across structured finance transactions (analysis, approval, monitoring)
• Reviewing structures, cashflows and documentation to ensure robust credit outcomes
• Partnering across Credit/Markets stakeholders to drive consistent standards and pragmatic risk decisions

What we're looking for

• Strong credit risk background with meaningful exposure to Structured Finance (e.g., ABS/RMBS, platform-related financing, direct lending and broader structured financing)
• Experience operating in 1st line / in-business (or a close adjacency), with the credibility to influence senior stakeholders
• A practical, commercial mindset and confidence working cross-business

For a confidential conversation, please get in touch.
