  4. Client and Market Engagement:
    • Support marketing and origination of new transactions
    • Prepare pitch books and marketing materials
    • Attend client meetings with senior colleagues
    • Participate in bank meetings, industry events, conferences, and seminars
  5. Portfolio Management and Reporting:
    • Monitor and manage existing transactions
    • Process waivers, amendments, and special credit requirements
    • Provide ad hoc reports for management
    • Conduct research and analytics on specific sectors, regions, or loans
  6. Cross-departmental Collaboration:
    • Work with various internal departments (middle/back office, Nikko, USCB, global counterparties)
    • Coordinate with other departments having overlapping clients

Qualifications and Skills:

  1. Educational Background and Experience:
    • 3-5 years of relevant professional experience in project finance, leveraged finance, or investment banking preferred
    • Strong understanding of Project Finance, Infrastructure Finance, Public Finance, Structured Finance, and related areas
  2. Analytical and Technical Skills:
    • Exceptional analytical and critical thinking abilities
    • Proficiency in financial modeling and cash flow analysis

    • Advanced proficiency in MS Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
  3. Communication and Interpersonal Skills:
    • Excellent written and verbal communication
    • Strong presentation skills for both internal and external audiences
    • Ability to build and maintain relationships with clients and colleagues
    • Comfortable negotiating with clients and key industry contacts
