Job Overview

The Credit Financing team is seeking an DIR-level structurer to join its team to assist in the origination and structuring of lending facilities backed by portfolios of corporate credit in Asia.

The Credit Financing team is part of the Spread Products division within Markets. The business focuses on customized financing solutions for strategic clients including large, well-known alternative investment managers.  These facilities are backed by a range of assets, including broadly syndicated and private credit loans to corporate borrowers, and are primarily retained for Citi’s portfolio but may also be securitized into the capital markets or syndicated to other institutional investors. Single name backed financing is ongoing development at Citi and the candidate will work for that mandate.

The team is small, highly collaborative and has built and maintained a market-leading lending franchise for close to two decades. The candidate will have exposure to experienced market participants and constant interactions with other teams across the Bank (businesses specializing in other asset classes, risk, operations, sales, legal, tax and accounting teams).

The candidate will work on all aspects of a transaction lifecycle, including origination, negotiation, documentation, deal closing, ongoing maintenance and risk management. The candidate will take ownership for successful delivery of our value proposition to our clients, both as lender as well as, in some cases, in the role of lead arranging bank. The candidate will get to understand and set up complex fund and lending structures and assure that our facilities maximize profitability, operational flexibility and efficiency while minimizing risk.

The candidate will:

• Serve as the key resource on the deal team for lending projects, including drafting transaction term sheets, client negotiation and review of transaction documentation

• Identify key structural, credit / market risk, and operational factors present in current and prospective credit facilities, and clearly articulate strategies to minimize and manage these risks and present them to our risk partners

• Work with potential syndicate partners to distribute risk

• Originate and develop innovative financing solutions for Citi’s clients with a focus on more complex transactions

• Work with Citi’s risk, technology, operations and on-boarding teams to operationalize each transaction’s implementation

• Coordinate periodic reviews with borrowers, as well as internal and external partners, to stay abreast of developments in each underlying portfolio and the broader market

Minimum Qualifications:

• Minimum of 10 years experience in client facing role is required. References from clients will be sought

• Solid understanding of the corporate credit market, private credit, leveraged loans, corporate bonds and CLOs

• Knowledge of private debt fund, SPV/SPE and lending structures, as well as a strong understanding of alternative assets including direct lending, private equity and other structured instruments

• Candidate should have a good foundation in financial statement analysis in a corporate debt context
