Executive Director, Structured Credit Investment

JOB PURPOSE:

As part of GM Investments, the Portfolio Manager will drive the build-out and growth of Private ABS investments, with a focus on SME, consumer, fintech-originated receivables, and forward-flow structures.

The role will expand the structured credit mandate, developing scalable exposure to private ABS, warehouse facilities, forward-flow agreements, and securitization take-outs, primarily targeting senior and super-senior risk (AAA/AA/A) within the Bank’s risk appetite.

Working in close partnership with the Head of Investments and Head of Fixed Income Investments, the Portfolio Manager will originate, structure, and manage proprietary investment frameworks, contributing to diversification, recurring income generation, and long-term growth of structured credit portfolios.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

• Construct and actively manage portfolios of private ABS, with exposure to SME lending, consumer finance, fintech-originated receivables, and specialty asset classes.

• Originate and execute forward-flow transactions with fintech platforms, non-bank lenders, and specialty finance companies.

• Develop and oversee warehouse, prefunding, and term securitization structures, including transition from private ABS to rated public take-outs where relevant.

• Design robust investment frameworks for private ABS, ensuring compliance with internal risk appetite, regulatory constraints, and capital treatment.

• Maintain active dialogue with fintech platforms, originators, servicers, arrangers, and rating agencies to source opportunities and manage asset performance.

• Implement strong risk monitoring, performance analytics, and P&L attribution frameworks for private and illiquid structured credit portfolios.

• Integrate macroeconomic, relative value, and structural analysis into investment decision-making.

• Apply advanced modelling and structuring expertise, including cash-flow modelling, stress testing, and scenario analysis for private ABS.

• Identify new asset classes (e.g. BNPL, merchant cash advance, trade receivables, digital SME lending) consistent with the Bank’s risk appetite

Specific Accountability:

• Build the end-to-end investment and risk infrastructure (credit, legal, operational, servicing).
