• Strong experience in structured finance / securitization gained in private practice or a relevant in-house environment
• Demonstrable understanding of transaction structuring, including exposure to tranches, waterfalls, and credit enhancement
• Experience reviewing and interpreting key transaction documents (e.g. offering circulars, trust deeds, intercreditor agreements)
