- Run each stage of a transaction, from pitching and analysis through structuring, due diligence, documentation, negotiation, and closing.

- Analyze asset-level data and historical performance, and build portfolio cash flow and transaction models to inform pricing, structure, valuation, and risk assessment.

- Oversee transactions after closing through portfolio surveillance, position and risk management, marking, hedging, and P&L monitoring.

- Experience leading asset-backed transactions through documentation and closing.

- Experience with Latin American clients, credit markets, or asset classes.

- Ability to independently model, price, and structure ABS transactions.
