As an Associate, you’ll support a portfolio of long-dated commercial real estate lending under a servicing contract with Scottish Widows.

Supporting key lifecycle events, you’ll help manage consent requests, waivers, amendments and annual reviews. Alongside this, you’ll contribute to credit paper preparation, financial analysis, monitor emerging risks, and work with internal teams and external advisers to support smooth deal delivery. You’ll also engage directly with clients on loan and risk-related matters, while using your analytical skills to enhance portfolio insight.

• Strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel and financial modelling capability
• Confident communicator with the ability to engage effectively with clients and senior stakeholders
• Proven track record of balancing multiple priorities to deliver high quality service in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
