- Identify construction delays, cost overruns, funding shortfalls and refinancing risks.
- Maintain financial models and portfolio reporting, working closely with borrowers, lenders, surveyors, credit teams and legal advisers.

You may currently work in real estate finance, development lending, CRE credit, loan servicing or debt portfolio management at a bank, debt fund, specialist lender or servicer.
We are particularly interested in candidates who bring:
- Hands-on post-close CRE loan management and development finance experience - 3+ years.
- Strong credit analysis, financial modelling and property cash-flow assessment skills.
- Experience interpreting loan documentation and monitoring covenant compliance.
- Confidence managing borrower relationships and coordinating loan events.
- An understanding of structured finance and the risks associated with property-backed lending.
