The Portfolio Funding team structure and manage bespoke investments in their clients' debt portfolios (via e.g. securitisation warehouses). Our clients include a range of mid-to-large non-bank financial institutions, other mid-sized banks, including digital banks across residential, commercial and consumer lending. To succeed in this role, you will need a blend of analytical, relationship building, and financial skills.

The role provides excellent opportunities to develop expertise in securitisation, additionally providing a stepping stone to more senior roles within MCG, offering significant career advancement potential.

In this dynamic and high-impact role, you'll make your mark by:

  • Conducting thorough risk assessments of loan portfolios and suggesting mitigation strategies. This is crucial for the team's success.
  • Acting as the primary internal contact for program management and external stakeholders, building and maintaining key relationships.
  • Assisting with identifying and securing new business opportunities to support team growth.

  • Ensuring all activities align with bank policies, procedures, and risk appetite. This is a critical responsibility.

What you'll bring to the role

To succeed in this role, you will have:

  • A tertiary qualification in finance, accounting, law, or management.
  • Experience in credit writing within business or corporate banking is highly desirable.

We would also love you to demonstrate:

  • Strong analytical skills for conducting in-depth risk assessments, analysing portfolio data, and identifying trends. Experience with financial modelling would be a significant advantage.
  • Excellent communication & relationship management as the role demands strong communication to interact effectively with internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • A solid understanding of finance, particularly lending, securitisation, and risk management, is critical. Knowledge of different asset classes (residential, commercial, consumer) would be beneficial.
  • Problem-solving skills including the ability to identify and resolve risk issues proactively is vital in this risk-focused role.
  • Being proactive and always organised as the role involves managing multiple tasks and projects simultaneously, requiring strong organisational and time management skills.
