Debt Portfolio Associate- Energy Team

Triple Point Group; London; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job description

Role Summary

The Triple Point Energy team manages a number of pools of capital, all with a mandate to accelerate the transition to Net Zero. The funds we manage are invested into both debt and equity investments.

Following rapid growth in our lending activities, we are looking for a portfolio manager to come on board to help oversee our loan investments in the Energy Transition. This is a newly created role as a function of our growth, and as such we are looking for someone who can both help shape our approach to loan portfolio management as well as manage a portfolio of loans.

Getting to Net Zero is going to require a new type of lender, with the mainstream banking sector slow to adapt to the new business models that are emerging as part of the energy transition. Non-bank lenders, such as Triple Point, are well placed to provide the capital required to get to Net Zero in areas such as Battery Energy Storage and development stage lending.

Triple Point manages over £1bn of lending assets across a range of economic sectors and is well known throughout the market for being a leading lender to UK businesses.

The combination of leveraging nearly 20 years of lending track record, combined with the fast-growing opportunities in the Energy Transition sector, makes this a compelling role for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

• Work directly with clients to obtain all necessary financial, technical, and operating information in a timely manner (e.g., review construction report, etc.) and sign off on the provided information.
• Monitor covenant testing for the portfolio, leveraging your knowledge of energy transition assets to do so.
• Proactively contribute to improving loan monitoring processes.
• Analyze management accounts with the aim of identifying and communicating early warning signs.
• Liaise with the operations team to ensure that recoverable costs, fees, and interests are being invoiced on time and follow up with the clients to ensure timely payment of such invoices.

Knowledge and Experience

It is anticipated that you will have the following:

• 2-3 years of experience managing a portfolio of loans in an active lending organization (middle office).
• Experience managing investment or loans in the Energy Transition sector.
• Understanding of loan documentation.
• Strong financial modeling and Microsoft Excel skills.

Qualities and Competencies

• Flexible attitude and willingness to evolve with the business.
• Highly numerate with strong academics.
• Proactive and highly motivated.
• Precision and attention to detail.
• Excellent interpersonal skills; ability to deal with people at all levels.
• Organized, with the ability to multi-task and prioritize a varied workload.
• Team player.
• Ability to work independently and as part of the team as and when required.
• Keen to learn.
• Integrity and honesty.
• Strong time management skills.
