Role overview

We are seeking a strategic, execution-oriented Associate, Capital Markets to lead the financial engineering behind our capital deployment. This role is designed for a technical expert who understands the nuances of the capital stack and can navigate complex debt structures.

This position supports US-based real estate transactions and financing structures. Experience working on US loan products, credit documentation, or US underwriting standards is strongly preferred.

Reporting directly to the Capital Lead, you will play a pivotal role in how we finance, scale, and optimize our portfolio.

Key responsibilities

• Deal structuring & execution: Architect complex debt instruments, including construction, bridge, and mezzanine financing. Lead the analysis of term sheets to optimize pricing, leverage, and flexibility.
  (All transactions are tied to US real estate financing structures.)

• Advanced capital modeling: Build and maintain sophisticated, dynamic models to evaluate IRR, term sheets, and WACC.

• Capital stack strategy: Recommend optimal funding strategies by balancing cost of capital against risk and operational constraints.

• Lender relations & syndication: Act as a point of contact for institutional partners and banks. Manage the "Due Diligence" vault and streamline the closing process for new credit facilities.
  (This includes coordination with US-based lenders and institutional capital partners.)

• Portfolio surveillance: Proactively manage the debt maturity ladder and monitor key covenants (DSCR, LTV, LTC).

Required qualifications

• Experience: 3–6 years in Capital Markets, Investment Banking, Private Equity, or Structured Finance.

• Modeling Mastery: Expert-level Excel skills are required. You must be comfortable building complex debt waterfalls and automated tools (VBA or Power Query experience is a significant advantage).

• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of credit agreements, loan documentation, and institutional underwriting standards. Experience reviewing US credit agreements or supporting US loan transactions is preferred.

• Strategic Communication: Ability to translate technical financial data into high-level strategic memos for the Executive Leadership team.

• Availability to overlap at least 6 hours with US Central Time is mandatory.

Why this role?

• Direct impact: You aren't just "running the numbers"; you are advising the Head of Capital on how to move millions of dollars in capital.

• Visibility: Direct exposure to senior leadership and institutional capital partners.

• Autonomy: We value an ownership mindset - you will be given the runway to improve our processes and lead deal workstreams.
