HOURS: Full time
WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites
The Infrastructure & Project Finance (I&PF) Credit team are recruiting for a Director to facilitate the ongoing management and continued growth of the franchise. We're a core facet within the Chief Credit Office and play a central role in delivering the Group’s Sustainability and Helping Britain Prosper agendas, by providing structured financing in support of UK/US infrastructure and in the transition towards renewable energy.

Job Description

I&PF Credit is specifically responsible for the independent credit analysis and sanction of facilities provided to counterparties involved in the infrastructure and project finance sectors. Our main asset classes are Renewables, PFI, Economic and Digital Infrastructure, and Energy Transition Technology.

Our aim is to be an outstanding credit function, supporting a market-leading franchise and supporting new growth opportunities outside the UK.

This is an incredible opportunity for you to join a growing team where you'll play a central role in delivering our agendas, by applying your structured finance experience in support of UK/US infrastructure and in the transition towards renewable energy, with a clear focus on risk. This is a key senior management role that comes with a delegated lending discretion and line management responsibility.

What you'll be doing...

• Be one of five Directors leading and line managing a team of credit professionals who specialise in Infrastructure and Project Finance. Together, you'll be responsible for their personal and technical development.

• Liaise with asset managers, originators, relationship managers, products partners, clients and where necessary shape structured credit proposals in order to maintain an acceptable balance of risk and reward.

• Oversee and support the team in conducting independent credit assessments for presentation to sanctioning officials to enable informed decisions to be made. This involves the analysis of company prepared information, extensive technical and market due diligence, and identifying key strengths and risks. Submissions include new to bank business, increased lending, variations from existing terms, restructures and annual credit reviews.

• Monitor and control credit exposures to identify increases to the risk profile, communicating with senior Risk colleagues and sanctioners as well as other interested parties as appropriate, and to maintain compliance with LBG policy and regulatory policy.

• Guide and support the team in undertaking customer, sector and market research to ensure assessments have an external dimension. Apply sound judgement to ensure relevant material is included when evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a lending proposal. This includes sensitivity analysis of internal/external cash flow models.

• Lead on the production of periodic sector and policy reviews.

• Assess proposed transactions against Group Policy and supervise the deal origination team in the same respect.

• We provide an encouraging learning environment, with an emphasis on teamwork and personal development. You'll work in a high profile and demanding environment committed to delivering core positive group values, motivating others to embrace innovation and simplify ways of working across teams.

What you need:

• Existing credit risk management (including sanctioning experience) in the infrastructure and project finance sectors (including renewables), with an in-depth technical understanding of these sectors. We focus primarily UK and US so familiarity with these jurisdictions is helpful.

• Well-developed communication and influencing skills and are happy to challenge the status quo whilst being comfortable making and explaining your decisions.

• Ability to balance conflicting demands whilst delivering to tight timescales.

• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new challenges.

• Demonstrate sound judgement, strong decision-making skills, good attention to detail, the ability to collaborate, good line management skills, and a passion for the asset classes which we cover.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%

• An annual discretionary performance-related bonus

• Share schemes including free shares!

• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping.

• 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top

• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
