ABF Portfolio Management VP / SVP in London

An excellent opportunity has arisen with a leading global credit investor managing over $50 billion AUM to join their established London team in a pivotal asset management capacity. This VP / SVP-level role is specifically designed for a professional who thrives on managing complex, existing portfolios and driving value post-closing – it is a portfolio management role rather than an origination seat.

You will oversee a diverse and sophisticated book of ABF / Specialty Finance transactions, spanning consumer and SME loan securitisation, auto finance across Europe. A core aspect of this position is the ongoing negotiation of amendments, extensions, and structural updates for a wide variety of intricate credit investments. Joining a firm renowned for its strong staff retention, this hire offers clear internal progression, allowing you to take on increasing involvement with new transactions as your footprint in the business grows.

You will be involved in:

• Leading the portfolio management of a diverse range of Structured Finance and Specialty Finance deals, including senior stretch, mezzanine, forward flows, and portfolio purchases.
• Negotiating complex transaction documentation, structural updates, and amendments post-closing to ensure optimal asset performance.
• Executing facility upsizes, maturity extensions, and regular reviews of borrowing base and covenant compliance.
• Preparing and presenting highly detailed Investment Committee memoranda, financial modelling, and comprehensive operational, legal, and tax due diligence findings directly to the Investment Committee.
• Drafting legal transaction documentation in close collaboration with internal and external counsel, while preparing reporting materials for LP advisory committees.

You will have:

• Strong, dedicated experience in asset-based credit analysis with a proven track record in ABS portfolio management, securitisation banking, or ABF.
• A background developed within a top-tier investment bank, leading credit rating agency, or alternative credit investor.
• Deep technical understanding of capital structures, corporate balance sheets, and the ability to thoroughly analyse specialty finance companies and their underlying assets.
• Highly confident negotiating skills coupled with exceptional interpersonal and communication abilities.
• Strong analytical capabilities, including sound financial modelling skills and a meticulous approach to monitoring risk.
• Typically 5‑15 years of relevant experience at a hands‑on VP / SVP level.
