A specialist leveraged finance credit team is looking for a Vice President to join their growing mid-market platform in London.
This is a genuine growth hire.
The mid-market business has been built from the ground up over the past 18 months and is scaling fast, with clear ambitions for continued expansion.
The London team works alongside a separate Amsterdam presence, and this role sits at the heart of the London franchise, supporting the Director who leads the mid-market focus, with the opportunity to engage across large-cap and tech leveraged finance as deal flow allows.
The role
You'll be a key credit voice across a growing pipeline of mid-market leveraged finance transactions — providing independent, robust challenge to deal teams and managing credit risk across a busy deal flow.
This is a role for someone who can hold their ground, push back when the credit case demands it, and operate with genuine autonomy.
What we're looking for
- VP-level leveraged finance experience in Credit Risk
- UK and European Mid Market coverage, cross sector.
- Comfortable facing off with origination and deal teams — commercially aware but independently minded
Backgrounds of interest include mid-market lenders and banks with mid-market or LBO credit capability.
