Our firm sets the standard for consulting services, fostering an environment that encourages career ownership at every stage.

You’ll help our clients in transformation and innovation efforts: driving growth, reducing costs, and managing risks proactively.

What you will do

Within the FSO our Structured Finance team provides services to investment banks and asset managers, primarily supporting our clients by providing valuation and consulting services across the entire securitization and derivative lifecycle. This includes helping them prepare important transaction materials prior to deal issuance. These transactions include asset-backed securities (ABS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized loan obligations (CLO) and derivative products across asset classes.

Our Structured Finance team is highly collaborative and you’ll always have the support of your team while working on multiple high-profile projects. As part of the team, you will follow projects from start to finish, taking on a wide range of responsibilities and providing opportunities to learn new skills, tools and processes. This could mean using your eye for detail to identify errors in important transaction documents to reduce risk for our clients, using your analytical expertise to develop or review technical models or documents, as well as directly influencing our clients through meetings and presentations.

Structured Finance is a challenging specialist area, so you won’t be expected to hit the ground running – you’ll learn as you go. If you’re naturally curious, are genuinely interested in this area and are ready to engage with our clients, there’s no limit to how far you can go here.
