About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Originate institutional borrow demand across collateralized lending, trading and hedging strategies, structured credit, and liquidity products — from prime brokerages, trading firms, and asset-backed lending partners.
Build the borrower pipeline across three segments: (1) unique-market-access counterparties (e.g. RWAs); (2) committed-supply-at-scale borrowers (market makers, OTC desks, trading desks); (3) KYC-gated counterparties (regulated borrowers who cannot legally use open pools).
Structure and close term sheets — negotiate rate, term, size, and collateral; coordinate KYC, gating, and onboarding through to close.
Maintain the book you originate. Long-term relationship maintenance, renewal, and expansion are owned by Capital Markets.
Operationalize and document the first on-chain borrow products (starting with our current pilot) so the process is repeatable as deal volume grows, and manage inbound interest as we execute more deals.
Work cross-functionally with Credit Risk, Strategy & Growth, Product, and Engineering on operational integration
Contribute to credit terms guidance (what we offer, minimum rate, maximum term) set with Credit Risk.

Requirements

What you’ll need

2–6 years in Investment Banking, Leveraged Finance, or Capital Markets at a leading sell-side institution. Sell-side experience is preferred, though exceptional buy-side candidates will be considered.
Direct experience with financing transactions, debt raises, warehouse facilities, asset-backed financing, structured credit, or other capital-markets products.
Credit / leveraged-finance grounding: comfort with collateralization, liquidity, leverage, covenants, counterparty risk, and funding costs.
Exposure to transaction execution: financial analysis, credit assessment, due diligence, term-sheet negotiation, documentation, syndication, and deal closing.
Experience managing institutional client relationships (corporates, financial institutions, asset managers, market makers, trading firms, funds).
Exceptional written and verbal communication.
