Forward Flow Operations & Cash Management

Team: Private Credit / Performing Loan Strategy

Level: Senior Associate

Location: London

We are currently working with the operations platform of a global investment firm, who are expanding their Forward Flow investment strategy and looking to hire a mid-level operations and cash management professional to support the growing platform. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, growing area of the business focused on performing credit portfolios such as buy-to-let loans, equity release mortgages, SME lending, and embedded finance deals (e.g., PayPal, Klarna).

Forward flow financing is a financial arrangement where a lender or investor agrees in advance to purchase a set amount of future loans or receivables from a company over time, usually on a regular schedule. This is commonly used in fintech or consumer lending, where, for example, a funding partner commits to buying newly originated loans (e.g., personal loans or buy-now-pay-later agreements) from a platform each month. It provides the originator with predictable liquidity while giving the investor access to a steady stream of assets.

In this role you will report directly into the heads of the strategy, working alongside key senior team members.

Responsibilities:

Cash Operations

• Manage weekly facility drawings and associated reconciliations
• Coordinate hedging activities and rate adjustments
• Communicate with agents and lenders, including tracking interest margins and swap rates
• Oversee monthly portfolio testing and draw request validation

Data Management & Reporting

• Maintain and update Excel-based operational models (no need for advanced cashflow modelling)
• Aggregate and verify monthly servicer and investor reports
• Respond to data aggregation requests from other investment strategies and teams (PE, Credit), covering FX, position management, and hedging

Onboarding & Oversight

• Assist in the onboarding of new forward flow agreements
• Set up and manage operational workflows with multiple counterparties
• Gradually take over interest rate and margin management responsibilities

Ideal Candidate

• Experience: 4–6 years in a cash management role, ideally from a fund manager, investment bank or major institutional player. Exposure to a variety of credit structures and assets classes, with experience in forward flow preferred.
• Profile: Diligent, detail-oriented, someone comfortable in a senior administrative/operational role
• Mindset: Strong quantitative skillset, operationally minded, and open to cross-functional exposure. Fluency in Excel and other operational programs such as Python and VBA are an advantage.

Why This Role?

This is a hands-on, operations-focused position with high visibility across the business and strong potential for long-term internal mobility across asset classes. As the forward flow strategy grows – with ambitions to spin out a dedicated capital pool/fund – this role is critical to supporting the platform’s next phase.

• Highly flexible: ~2/3 days per week in-office
• Part of a high performing, collaborative team culture
