Senior Manager, Asset Management – Debt Portfolio, London

With c.£10bn of AUM, the Macquarie Asset Management Private Credit portfolio of debt investments spans several industry sectors, with a particular focus on the key principles of environmental, social, and governance considerations, such as renewable energy (solar and wind), social housing, and private finance initiatives, as well as traditional infrastructure assets (roads, rail, and airports).

As the Macquarie Asset Management Private Credit business continues to expand, we are seeking an infrastructure finance professional to join the Portfolio Management team. In this role you will take ownership of managing a defined pool of assets within the portfolio, as well as lead and train junior analysts to adhere to best-in-class asset management practices. The analytical side of the role will include rigorous review of financial models and assumptions, review and analysis of covenanted deliverables within the debt structure (eg. financial statements and ratios, operating reports and ESG reporting), rating assessments. In addition, you would be required to navigate waiver and consent processes, including due diligence requirements and communicate directly with borrowers to negotiate risk balanced solutions. Key stakeholder management will also be critical to success in this role and an ability to be agile across multiple workstreams such as key portfolio reporting, ad hoc projects and investor communications (written and verbal).

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated finance professional to have an immediate impact on a growing business.

To be successful you will likely have a minimum of eight years’ experience with the below competencies:

• Experience in structuring and / or analysing the risk fundamentals of infrastructure and/or corporate debt
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to decipher and articulate key issues in a clear and concise manner (written and verbal)
• At ease in analytical discussions, with a rounded, commercial approach to risk decisions
• Experience reviewing and working with financial models
• Understanding due diligence requirements for varying proposals (legal, technical, financial and other relevant due diligence reports)
• Background and knowledge of debt documentation
• Ability to manage a variety of tasks concurrently
• Experience managing junior analysts would be beneficial, but not a strict requirement
• Entrepreneurial spirit with a natural curiosity to implement positive change and develop new initiatives
• Strong interpersonal skills
