Loan Servicing / CLO Operations Analyst

I’m working with a leading global investment manager that is looking to hire an experienced Loan Servicing / CLO Operations professional to join its London-based Operations team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong grounding in syndicated loan operations and CLOs who wants to take on a role with genuine ownership across the loan lifecycle, rather than simply processing transactions.

You’ll work closely with Portfolio Managers, Investment Teams, Finance, Agent Banks and external counterparties, playing a key role in ensuring the smooth and accurate operation of a global CLO platform.

You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day servicing of syndicated loans and CLO portfolios, with exposure across the full lifecycle. Daily duties will include:

• Managing day-to-day loan lifecycle events, including interest, repayments, rollovers, amendments and other scheduled and ad-hoc activity.
• Processing loan transactions and cash movements, ensuring positions and records remain accurate and up to date.
• Supporting loan amendments, restructurings and facility changes, ensuring new terms and relevant data are correctly reflected across internal systems.
• Managing activity relating to committed and uncommitted facilities, including drawdowns and associated processing.
• Performing regular position, cash and system reconciliations across multiple internal platforms.
• Investigating and resolving reconciliation breaks, identifying root causes and providing clear analysis to relevant stakeholders.
• Supporting trade settlement activity and ensuring transactions are accurately reflected across the relevant operational systems.
• Reviewing interest and payment notices, investigating discrepancies and ensuring accurate processing.
• Working closely with investment, portfolio management, finance, operations and external counterparties to resolve issues and ensure transactions are processed efficiently.

They're looking for someone with a solid background in syndicated loan operations, ideally gained within an asset manager, investment manager, CLO platform, bank, agent or similar financial services environment.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong experience across syndicated loan servicing and operations.
• Good knowledge of the primary and secondary loan markets, particularly PAR loans.
• Experience working with CLOs and/or alternative credit portfolios, with an understanding of relevant lifecycle events.
• Familiarity with loan servicing, settlement and reconciliation processes and the systems that support them (Ideally WSO)
• Strong understanding of operational controls, cash movements and position management.
