Role Overview
As Senior Manager - Complex Transaction Support (CTS), you'll be responsible for managing a portfolio of the most challenging projects in NHB’s loan and equity portfolios, where the risk profile has deteriorated, signs of distress are evident and specialist expert attention is required to deliver a solution. Projects are transferred from mainstream Portfolio Management to CTS at the point significant deteriorating risk is identified and intensive management becomes necessary.
The Senior Manager - CTS will identify critical emerging risk factors, understand and solve complex issues (which differ for every project) and develop and implement a restructuring strategy that enables homes to be delivered and investment (debt and/or equity) recovery optimised. The strategy will inform impairment assessment (predicted loss) with a consequential direct impact on the Agency’s financial reporting.
