Permanent vacancyCity of London based bank; working from the office typically 3 days per week Salary <£70-75,000 pa plus benefits

Join a growing and dynamic team focused on building a high-quality portfolio of Subscription Credit Facilities (SCFs) for leading private equity and alternative investment funds. As a Deal Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in the execution and ongoing management of transactions - from credit analysis and documentation through to risk oversight and relationship management.

This is a unique opportunity to gain significant responsibility early, working on high-profile transactions alongside experienced professionals in a flat, collaborative environment.

We are looking for candidates with strong execution experience in Subscription Credit Facilities. While origination experience is welcome, it is not required. If you’ve built your career on getting deals done and want to take the next step, we want to hear from you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Deal execution & Credit analysis: Take ownership of the end-to-end execution of SCFs, including structuring, financial modeling, drafting credit memos, and presenting to internal committees.
• Documentation & Negotiation: Lead the negotiation of legal documentation in collaboration with internal and external counsel, ensuring terms meet both client needs and internal risk standards.
• Portfolio management: Monitor and manage the performance of individual facilities and the overall SCF portfolio. Perform ongoing risk assessments, manage renewals, and produce periodic reviews.
• Client engagement: Serve as a key contact for clients during execution and throughout the facility life cycle, helping build trust-based, long-term relationships.
• Market intelligence: Stay current with market developments, competitor activity, and investor trends to help position the bank competitively in the Subscription credit space.
• Team support & Business growth: Support senior team members with strategic initiatives, pitch support, and business development as needed.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:

• 2-4 years of experience in SCF execution at a bank or financial institution.
• Demonstrated ability to lead or support the execution of SCF transactions across the full deal lifecycle.
• Strong candidates with structured credit experience (e.g., fund finance, leverage finance, asset-backed lending) and solid credit analysis skills will also be considered, provided they are comfortable getting into the weeds of legal documentation and can engage effectively with legal counsel during execution, even if direct SCF exposure is limited.
• Solid understanding of fund finance, credit analysis, legal documentation, and internal credit processes.
• While origination experience is not required, commercial awareness and interest in client engagement are welcome.
• Strong organisational, communication, and collaboration skills.
