A great opportunity for an analyst/associate to join a market-leading structured products team in London, working across the full universe of public and private securitisation. You will model and analyse some of the most sophisticated securitised products in the market – spanning ABS, CLOs, RMBS, CMBS, SRT/capital relief trades, asset-based finance (ABF), fund finance and whole loan pools – for clients that include the world's largest banks, asset managers and hedge funds.
The team pairs the backing and connectivity of a major global business with a genuinely nimble, entrepreneurial culture, and is investing heavily in best-in-class technology, from in-house cash flow engines and data infrastructure to embedding AI at the heart of its processes. You will develop quickly on both the technical and commercial fronts, progressing from deal modelling and written analysis into direct client interaction, pitching and product demonstrations.
If you have genuine depth in at least one securitised asset class, strong modelling skills and the work ethic to match a high-volume, fast-growing platform, this is an exceptional place to build a career in structured finance.
