Over time, the expectation is you will take on increasing responsibility for originating, structuring, and executing transactions.

• Understanding of the oil market, familiarity with derivatives and the suite of commodity financing structures a plus (title-based structures, prepayments, secured facilities and letters of credit/receivables).
• Demonstrated skills in financial analysis and modelling, structuring, legal documentation, and execution of financing, credit or investment transactions – preferrable
• Highly detail-oriented and an excellent standard of work with the ability to build strong working partnerships with stakeholders and clients
