The Role
This is a hands-on position at the centre of Hayfin's CLO strategy. You'll own the operational side of our CLOs from the day a warehouse is set up through to the quarterly payment cycle and everything in between.
That might mean working through warehouse tests and drawdown requests as a new deal takes shape, running the Interest Payment Date calculations that make sure every dollar flows where the documentation says it should, or picking up the phone to a trustee when the numbers on two systems don't quite agree. You'll work closely with our portfolio managers, finance and compliance colleagues, and with the administrators and trustees we rely on externally.
Much of the job is about being the person who knows how the structure actually works, and who can find the answer in the documentation quickly when someone asks.
