Senior Credit Analyst - ABL Portfolio Management

Description:

The firm is adding to its headquarters team a Senior Credit Analyst.  This role offers excellent opportunities along with increasing levels of responsibility given the growth of the firm, being in the headquarters location, and having a credit box and credit profile target that correlates to the emerging recessionary macroeconomic environment.  Another attractive factor is working for a non-bank that doesn’t have the regulatory and compliance constraints of bank owned ABL groups.  That translates into more creative and flexible transaction structuring capabilities, and not having as much time consumed with non-valued added compliance work.

Involved in all aspects of account relationship management and monitoring of borrower credit risk profiles, performances, and trends.  This includes credit / financial analysis, financial modeling, and collateral analysis.  These include:

  • Work with portfolio managers and senior credit officers in managing syndicated and sole lender asset-based credit facilities ranging from $10 million to $475 million.

    Collateral Financial Modeling and Analysis: Trend analysis and forecasting; daily or weekly collateral analysis to analyze unusual activity / anomalies; coordinate, review and evaluate field exams appraisals on an ongoing basis.
  • Participate in client calls, negotiations and meetings, and direct ongoing interactions with customers, their advisors and private equity sponsors.

  • Assist in the underwriting of transactions related to accounts in the portfolio, typically related to bolt-on acquisitions, account refinancings, dividend and other recapitalizations, troubled account restructures, and other financing transactions as needed.
