Director / Managing Director – Asia Pacific Head of Asset Securitisation

Role Overview

Functionally, this role is to head the ASec team within Asia Pacific (APAC), an established team that acts to arrange and fund balance sheet deals (i.e. securitisation warehouses and term lending) and public capital markets securitisation transactions (i.e. Arranger & Joint Lead Manager (JLM) mandates for asset backed securities (ABS) and residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS)).

In this role, you will coordinate with key Sector teams (namely Financial Institutions (FI) and Diversified Corporates (DC)) within APAC to take the lead role in originating, structuring, and executing securitisation deals for WB clients and assisting where required for ING related entities (e.g. ING Bank (Australia) Limited (IBAL) deals, treating Group Treasury (GT) within IBAL as a client).

Given securitisation is a multiple product offering, this individual will also need to work with other WB stakeholders including CMA teams such as Debt Capital Markets (e.g. Bond Syndicate) and Financial Markets (FM, e.g. Institutional Sales and Non-Linear Trading and Sales (NLTS)) to deliver holistic solutions beyond lending (e.g. execution of JLM mandates for ABS/RMBS deals and the provision of securitisation hedging, e.g. interest rate swaps).

As ASec already has an existing presence across multiple geographies in APAC (e.g. Australia and South Korea), this individual will also need to have a strong existing network and experience in securitisation markets.

ASec APAC is also an established team; therefore, this individual will require experience in managing a team and working with senior management, given the day-to-day focus of this role is not deal execution.
