Summary of Responsibilities:

With strong ambitions in sustainability and in an effort to help clients successfully navigate a dynamic market environment, BBVA CIB’s financial advisory unit has set up a specialized group with a focus on offshore wind power and energy transition/cleantech sectors (particularly those involving new or nascent technologies such as green hydrogen, carbon capture utilization & storage, battery storage, transport electrification and biofuels). This new group’s scope includes debt advisory (project finance, acquisition finance, refinancing) as well as involvement on equity-side mandates where relevant (buy-side or sell-side M&A).


The group has a global geographic coverage serving a large and diversified client base and currently has a core set-up in London and Madrid. To better serve clients in the USA and Canada, the group is looking to expand in New York and the Executive Director (ED) will be the first addition there with other hires to follow.


The Executive Director will be the most senior member of the team to be located in New York and will take the lead on targeting, originating and leading the execution of advisory mandates, with a primary focus on debt advisory. The role comes with high internal and external visibility together with strong career growth potential.

  • Coordinating with various internal teams (e.g. coverage, PF lending, other internal advisory teams) to identify new business opportunities and helping grow the advisory franchise in the USA and Canada
  • Guiding/mentoring mid-level and junior resources



Level of Complexity and Risk Involved:

High level of complexity – highly technical role requiring expert level knowledge of financial advisory



Skills, knowledge, and abilities/competencies:

  • Academic background: Master’s degree (desirable: MBA or specialization in Finance)
  • Min 12 years' experience in debt advisory (particularly project finance and acquisition finance) or combined lending + advisory role and/or M&A advisory, ideally with a focus on renewables and energy transition with a strong deals list (including financing structures with tax equity)
  • Strong analytical, communication and interpersonal skills to lead deal teams as primary day-to-day contact for clients
  • Ability to multi-task and deliver under time pressure
  • Ability to work with cross-functional and cross-geographic teams
  • Candidates from investment banks, advisory firms and commercial banks (including those with project finance lending + advisory experience) will be most relevant for this role



Management Responsibilities:

  • This role will have access to junior resources



All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.


With respect to this position in our New York Office, the expected base salary ranges from $200,000 to $260,000. It is not typical for offers to be made at or near the top of the range. Salary offers are based on a wide range of factors including relevant skills, training, experience, education, and, where applicable, certifications obtained. Market and organizational factors are also considered. In addition to salary and a generous employee benefits package, successful candidates are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus.
