Descripción del empleo

Aether is looking for an Analyst (with at least 2 years of experience) to join its Agency team. In financing transactions (whether bank loans or bond issuances), the Agent acts as the intermediary between banks/investors and corporate borrowers. Historically performed in-house by banks and investment funds, these functions have increasingly been outsourced, contributing to the strong growth of our business. The Agent ensures the proper execution of financing agreements through:

• Administrative responsibilities: managing and monitoring the timely delivery of contractual information obligations (annual financial statements, reporting packages, budgets, covenant certificates, etc.).
• Financial responsibilities: calculating interest and payment instructions, margin adjustments, prepayment penalties, APR calculations, subscription prices, and related matters.
• Cash flow coordination: overseeing cash flow aspects related to closings, drawdowns, and payments throughout the life of the transaction.
• Ad hoc interactions: handling waiver requests, amendments, and complex situations requiring the Agent’s involvement (such as restructurings).

You will be responsible for a portfolio of companies and will manage all of the aspects described above, including:

• Interacting with investors and corporate borrowers to ensure the administrative, financial, and legal monitoring of financing agreements for which AFS has been appointed as Agent.
• Performing all calculations related to your assigned portfolio.
• Preparing and managing waivers, lender meetings, and, more generally, investor/lender decision-making processes.
• Ensuring compliance with and implementation of the financing agreement provisions (financial covenants, security interests, undertakings, and other contractual obligations).
• Maintaining relationships with investors, corporate borrowers, law firms, private equity funds, banks, and, more broadly, the AFS financial ecosystem.
• Participating in client meetings.
• Contributing to AFS's marketing and business development initiatives.

YOUR PROFIL

• Highly motivated, entrepreneurial, and capable of working independently.
• Methodical, detail-oriented, and highly organized.
• At least 2 years of relevant professional experience.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in the review and interpretation of financial agreements.
• Previous experience in agency services, private debt, capital markets, or corporate finance.
• Exposure to legal matters or an interest in legal aspects of financing transactions would be an advantage.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Excellent command of English, both written and spoken.
• Additional languages: German, Spanish and/or Italian strongly preferred.

WHY JOINING

By joining a high-growth company with significant potential, you will become part of a dynamic, client-focused team. If you are looking to fully realize your potential by leveraging your financial markets expertise to develop high value-added services, this opportunity is for you. You will work directly with leading banks, top-tier law firms, major global investors, and the management teams of our corporate clients. The diversity of transactions will also provide you with the opportunity to develop a strong understanding of the financial services industry. As an Analyst, you will be involved in all legal matters relating to the business, as well as in the day-to-day management of transactions, giving you a comprehensive view of how they are executed. You will be expected to organize your resources efficiently to manage deal flow while staying abreast of regulatory and technological developments.
