Vice President Transaction Execution

MAIN PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

The Transaction Execution team covers loan transactions for leveraged and investment grade corporate borrowers using documentation which is LMA-based, US / cov lite style and / or hybrids of the two. Financings include event-driven and flow / relationship facilities (bridge, term and revolving credit).

This role is focused on (i) delivering differentiated client service; (ii) managing the negotiation of legal documentation for loan financing transactions (including mandate / commitment documents, facility agreements and intercreditor agreements (as applicable)); and (iii) assisting with any structuring considerations and identifying any risks or issues that arise in the broader transaction documentation or process.
