Own portfolio monitoring for our capital mandates end to end — write the code that produces the numbers, then own the read on what they mean and what we should do about it
Build and automate the monitoring and reporting that tracks performance, covenant headroom and facility utilisation, replacing manual processes with pipelines that run themselves
Design the dashboards and visualisations that senior executives, lenders and investors rely on, and stand behind the accuracy and the commentary that goes with them
Assess and manage the performance of underlying capital mandates: vintage and cohort analysis, loss curves, yield and advance-rate decomposition, and the early-warning indicators that flag problems before month end
Build the scenario and sensitivity analysis — stress cases, downside macro scenarios and structural what-ifs — and interpret the output to inform capital allocation, facility sizing and pricing decisions
Develop and maintain cashflow and waterfall models supporting portfolio decision-making, new facility structuring and refinancing
Write production-quality SQL and Python and build database tables and dbt models alongside our data engineering teams, so that monitoring is self-serve rather than a recurring manual task
Bring engineering discipline to analytical work — version control, code review, testing and documentation — and help set that standard across the team
Translate analysis into a clear recommendation: identify the trend, size the impact, and communicate it directly to senior stakeholders and external counterparties
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
3–5 years of experience in data analytics, capital markets, structured finance, credit risk or a comparable quantitative role — ideally within Finance or FinTech
Strong academic background including at least a Bachelor's degree (Mathematics, Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science, Computational Finance, Economics) or equivalent
Advanced, hands-on SQL and Python — you build and maintain analytical code and automation yourself rather than specifying it for someone else
