• Manage relationships with originators, servicers, clients, rating agencies, and investors, engaging in ongoing communication and ad-hoc discussions, conducting on-site vendor due diligence and asset level reviews, and performing reverse due diligence on underwriting, servicing, collections, and recoveries processes, ensuring adherence to industry best practices and compliance standards.

• Lead the structuring and execution of asset-backed senior financing facilities, securitization transactions, and principal investment deals, optimizing capital structures, developing hedging strategies using derivatives, and negotiating with rating agencies on complex ABS and principal transactions.

• Develop sophisticated pricing and cash flow models for structured finance transactions, build pricing engines, design hedging strategies, and perform valuation and execution analysis, conducting quantitative structuring for deal optimization.

• Manage the transaction execution process from deal screening and due diligence to developing pricing models and financial analysis, securing credit committee approvals by preparing comprehensive credit memos and stress tests, and overseeing closing activities, including cash flows and legal/operational tasks.

• Collaborate with legal teams and other transaction parties, working on legal documentation and operational structuring.

What we will need from you:
