Director – Fund Finance
- Originate, structure and execute fund finance transactions for private equity and other sponsors across Australia.
- Develop new NAV and structured hybrid products while managing the existing Australian portfolio, including reviews, refinancings and extensions.
- Build sponsor relationships and work with relationship managers, legal counsel and senior management on deal execution and reporting.
The Business:
A leading global financial institution is establishing a product focused fund finance presence in Sydney. The Fund Finance team sits within a structured finance group across Asia Pacific and has grown its portfolio from $500mio to $3bio in about three years. Its core products are subscription facilities, GP facilities and hybrids, with a clear mandate to expand into NAV and structured hybrid solutions. This Director will be the first product focused hire in Australia and will be incremental in shaping the future of structured finance for the bank in the Australian market.
Key Responsibilities:
- Originate and execute fund finance transactions for private equity and other sponsors across Australia
- Analyse, structure and run due diligence on complex transactions and take them through credit
- Design new product structures rather than processing vanilla subscription lines, including NAV and structured hybrid facilities
- Manage the existing Australian book including periodic reviews, refinancings and extensions
- Work alongside relationship managers to build and maintain sponsor relationships and develop the pipeline
- Liaise with external legal counsel on documentation and prepare reporting for senior management
The Ideal Candidate:
- 7-10+ years’ experience in fund finance, securitisation or another complex structured finance background, ideally at Director level or as a strong VP
- CLO or SRT structuring experience highly favourable, with the ability to apply securitisation thinking to fund finance
- Exposure to financial sponsors and a strong grounding in subscription, GP, hybrid and NAV products
- A track record of building new products from first principles, not just executing well on standard structures
- Tenacity and creativity to solve complex financing problems, with the confidence to defend a new idea to a senior team
- Offshore Australians and candidates based in Singapore, Hong Kong, New York or London are encouraged to apply
