Résumé du poste

JCW Group is looking for an SVP to build and lead a Commercial, Esoteric & New Assets ABS practice from the ground up in New York. This is not a generic ABS role; you will shape methodology and own the space.

You will lead end-to-end credit rating processes for unconventional collateral, mentor analysts, and manage issuer, arranger, and investor relationships, drawing on deep experience in data center, aviation, telecom infra, or equipment leasing assets.

Qualifications

• Direct, demonstrable experience in commercial or esoteric ABS.
• Experience with data center, aviation, telecom infra, equipment leasing, or small business lending.
• Proficiency in cash-flow modeling and deal documentation.
• Ability to defend a rating view in a non-standard asset class.
• Experience leading a team or mentoring junior analysts.

Responsabilités

• Lead the credit rating process end-to-end on new ABS transactions in commercial and esoteric asset classes.
• Perform originator and servicer diligence, structuring and cash-flow modeling, legal review.
• Present at rating committee and publish research and rating rationales.
• Own relationships with issuers, arrangers and investors.
• Mentor the junior analysts who'll build out the practice.

Description du poste

Data centers. Aviation. Telecom infrastructure. Equipment leasing. Small business lending. If you've actually rated or structured deals in these spaces — not just adjacent ones — this ad is for you. If you haven't, this probably isn't.

A global credit rating agency is building out its Commercial, Esoteric & New Assets ABS practice from the ground up, and they're hiring an SVP to lead it. Not a generalist ABS seat. Not a "will learn on the job" role. They want someone who already has real reps on unconventional collateral, because the whole point of this build-out is depth in exactly the asset classes most of the market still treats as afterthoughts.

What you'd actually be doing:

• Leading the credit rating process end-to-end on new ABS transactions in commercial and esoteric asset classes
• Doing the real work: originator and servicer diligence, structural and cash-flow modeling, legal documentation review — on collateral types that don't have a standard playbook yet
• Presenting at rating committee and putting your name on published research and rating rationales in a space where there's genuine room to shape the methodology
• Owning the relationship with issuers, arrangers and investors directly on these transactions
• Mentoring the junior analysts who'll build out the rest of this practice under you

What actually matters here:

• Direct, demonstrable experience in commercial or esoteric ABS — data center, aviation, telecom infrastructure, equipment leasing, small business lending is essential.
• Strong cash flow modeling and deal documentation chops, with Intex, T-REX, VBA and Bloomberg fluency
• The credibility to defend a rating view on an asset class most of the market hasn't built a template for yet

Smaller team, real ownership of a space that's still being defined. If your deal sheet actually has these asset classes on it, get in touch.
