VP - Debt Asset Management Real Estate Special Sits - eFinancialCareers : Job Details

The business targets special opportunities in asset heavy, non-traditional and/or non-core assets. The team provides capital solutions to small and mid-cap entities and investors, in response to those stakeholders facing limited access to capital from banks and other traditional sources of funding. 

The role is to sit in an autonomous position, responsible for managing the relationship with all borrowers and stakeholders. Due to the firm's more opportunistic focus from a risk perspective, it is common that borrowers may face challenges, breach covenants or fall significantly short of the agreed debt schedule. As such, there is a requirement for someone with a technical and modelling skill set robust enough to run analysis on restructuring/refinancing scenarios. 

This person need not be sitting in a real estate lender now, however, this would be of course advantageous. The successful candidate may be someone in an investment bank, an advisory businesses proving services to distressed RE investors, an institutional manager or somewhere comparable. A combination of any of the above would also suit. 

The key requirement is for someone to have pre-existing real estate experience and a highly robust technical and due diligence capability. Due to the seniority of this position also, it is important they are comfortable operating in a front-office role with commercial exposure and relationship management demands.
