VP – Private Side Distribution – Capital Markets

A leading global investment bank is seeking to appoint a Vice President within its Capital Markets franchise to support the continued growth of its private-side distribution capabilities across Australia and New Zealand. This hire reflects sustained transaction activity across leveraged finance, structured lending and broader syndicated loan markets, with the successful candidate playing a key role in strengthening investor engagement and delivering distribution outcomes across the platform.

The role offers significant exposure to primary syndicated loan transactions from mandate through to financial close. Working closely with origination teams, relationship managers and regional distribution colleagues, you will lead investor dialogue, manage syndication and bookrunning processes, provide market intelligence and assist in optimising transaction structures and distribution strategies. Responsibilities will include investor coverage, pricing and liquidity analysis, preparation of syndication materials, underwriting support, secondary loan sales execution and broader strategic distribution initiatives.

Candidates will typically have 8+ years’ experience within Syndications, Debt Capital Markets, Loan Distribution or a relevant Coverage function at a major bank or international financial institution. Experience across structured lending products, including leveraged finance, project finance or specialised finance, will be highly regarded. The successful individual will possess a strong understanding of loan markets, investor dynamics and syndicated transaction execution, combined with the ability to manage multiple deal processes simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. Degree-level academic credentials and strong stakeholder management capabilities are expected.
