About the role
- The Transaction Manager sits within our Credit & Risk team and is responsible for driving deals from credit approval through to drawdown.

- Act as the central point of coordination between the Deal team, Risk, legal counsel, investors and the borrower.
- Oversee the end-to-end transaction process, ensuring documentation aligns with credit approval and policy, conditions precedent are satisfied, and internal approvals and drawdown mechanics are completed efficiently.
- Ensure KYC and AML requirements are met and that files remain disciplined and audit-ready.
- Develop a strong understanding of cross-border legal and risk nuances as the job operates across both UK and US jurisdictions.
- Maintain stakeholder alignment and resolve issues calmly while maintaining a high-quality client experience.
- Work closely with an experienced Credit & Risk team across geographies and play a meaningful role in how the company delivers transactions.
