Interpath is seeking a self-motivated and detail-oriented Assistant Manager for our growing Loan Portfolio Diligence team, with a focus on securitisation and structured finance transactions. This is a hands-on role with a dual focus: performing loan-level diligence, re-underwriting and data verification for private transactions, whilst having the ability to lead agreed-upon procedures (AUP) testing for public securitisations, including oversight of junior team members.

The role offers significant variety and exposure across a broad range of structured finance transactions. We perform diligence for private financing deals including asset-based lending and forward flow transactions, as well as portfolio sales, significant risk transfers, and full public securitisations. Our clients include banks, investment funds, asset managers, loan origination platforms, and fintech lenders and we work across all asset classes, such as residential and commercial mortgages, auto loans, consumer credit, SME lending, asset finance, and more.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform detailed loan-level due diligence, re-underwriting, and data verification for portfolios involved in private securitisation transactions.
• Review and interpret credit files, servicing data and loan documentation to assess credit quality and adherence to underwriting standards.
• Assess and critique lending policies to evaluate alignment with portfolio characteristics and credit risk appetite.
• Lead AUP testing for public securitisations, overseeing junior resources and ensuring accuracy and consistency with offering documents and required data templates.
• Review investor reporting to assess accuracy and produce recommendations for improvements.
• Co-ordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders, including our clients, to ensure timely and high-quality delivery of work.

Requirements

This position is ideal for candidates with a background in structured finance, credit risk or loan underwriting, whether from professional services, banking or industry.

• Typically 2-4 years of experience in loan portfolio analysis, credit risk, structured finance, or securitisation.
• Alternatively, a background in underwriting or credit assessment, either in professional services or within a lending institution, is highly relevant.
• An understanding of securitisation structures, and familiarity with AUP engagements and public securitisation reporting requirements is beneficial.
• Proficiency in Excel is required; experience with data analytics tools or cash flow modelling experience is a plus.
