The Director is a senior member of the Corporate Banking team, accountable for leading credit structuring, underwriting, execution, and portfolio management across the Asset & Wealth Management sector.

The role combines strong credit judgment, transaction leadership, portfolio oversight, and informal people leadership, with responsibility for underwriting loans to asset and wealth managers and FX and interest rate derivative trading lines for sponsor funds. This is a credit-oriented leadership role, partnering closely with coverage bankers, product teams, Risk, and Legal.

This position provides senior underwriting and execution expertise across sub-sectors including, but not limited to, Fund Finance (subscription facilities, NAV facilities, BDC financings), management company financings, and credit facilities supporting trading, treasury, and trade finance activities. A key priority is helping build a scalable underwriting execution model for a high volume of new sponsor fund trading-line originations, while maintaining credit quality and disciplined approvals. The Director will engage directly with clients to lead due diligence and advance credit-related documentation and ISDA negotiations.

• Present and defend balanced credit recommendations to approval stakeholders, clearly articulating risks, mitigants, proposed structures, and exceptions requiring concurrence.
• Coordinate coverage, trading, Risk, Legal, and operations stakeholders from initial diligence through approval, documentation, and line activation; manage pipeline priorities, execution capacity, turnaround times, and quality controls without compromising credit discipline.

Portfolio Management & Risk Oversight

• Maintain senior accountability for a diversified lending and derivatives credit portfolio, with oversight of credit quality, risk ratings, exposures, performance, and risk-adjusted returns.
• Lead annual reviews, renewals, amendments, and ongoing monitoring of borrowers and fund counterparties, including financial performance, covenants, liquidity, collateral and credit support, and emerging risks.
• Exercise sound judgment in balancing transaction execution and portfolio objectives with credit, market, operational, and legal/compliance risks; escalate deterioration and recommend appropriate risk mitigation.

• Ensure adherence to internal policies, controls, and regulatory expectations.

• Monitor regulatory, industry, and market developments affecting the portfolio and proactively adjust underwriting assumptions, monitoring priorities, and risk recommendations.

• Lead due diligence efforts for new and existing relationships, including client interactions and evaluations of business models, industry trends, and regulatory impacts.

• Synthesize information from multiple sources into actionable underwriting recommendations and clearly communicate credit requirements and structural considerations to clients and internal stakeholders.

Qualifications & Experience

• Undergraduate degree in finance, economics, accounting, or a related discipline; strong academic performance preferred.
• MBA, CFA, CPAs or equivalent professional credentials highly regarded.

• Demonstrated experience within the Asset & Wealth Manager and/or Fund Finance sector strongly preferred; cash flow lending and fund finance experience are ideal.
• Deep understanding of corporate lending, portfolio management, and credit risk frameworks, with the ability to assess sponsor fund structures and derivatives counterparty exposures.
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex underwriting assignments and portfolio responsibilities concurrently, with the organizational discipline to lead high-volume execution and improve processes.
• Comfort engaging directly with clients in a diligence capacity and negotiating credit-related ISDA and CSA terms alongside Legal and product partners; experience underwriting FX and interest rate derivative trading lines is highly valued.

• Strong leadership, influencing, and negotiation skills, with the ability to operate independently in non-routine, high-impact situations.
• Superior analytical capability and comfort with advanced financial modeling and analysis.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; capable of delivering polished presentations to senior internal and external audiences.
