Collaborating with the Head of Asset Management and Portfolio Manager to evaluate and implement portfolio-level strategies to maximize investor returns

Monitoring:

Evaluation:

Assessing challenges associated with each deal and devising strategies to achieve optimal risk-adjusted returns

Collaborating with deal originators, valuers, third-party advisors, and legal experts to refine strategies

Utilizing expertise in debt legal and security documentation to inform decision-making on potential enforcement actions

Reporting:

Preparing and presenting investment committee papers for formal approval of proposed changes

Engaging with third-party stakeholders, such as lawyers and administrators, to facilitate the implementation of approved initiatives

Negotiating and finalizing documentation with sponsors and borrowers

Key Requirements/Qualifications:
