About the job:

Position Overview BBVA is seeking an experienced Vice President to join its US Private Placement team. The successful candidate will play a central role in originating, structuring and executing USPP transactions for corporate and project finance clients, working across industries and global jurisdictions. The position requires strong technical credit skills, disciplined transaction management and the ability to coordinate seamlessly with relationship bankers, capital markets professionals, legal counsel, operations teams, investors and clients. The role is intended for an execution professional with recent, directly relevant USPP transaction experience, including activity involving data centers, commercial real estate and project finance. The candidate must be comfortable moving from detailed financial analysis and documentation to senior level client and investor dialogue, while maintaining high standards of accuracy, judgment and execution discipline.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and support the end to end execution of US Private Placement transactions, from initial opportunity assessment and mandate through structuring, investor engagement, due diligence, documentation, closing and post closing coordination.

Prepare and review detailed credit analysis, financial models, debt capacity assessments, cash flow forecasts, covenant analyses and downside/sensitivity cases for corporate and project finance transactions.

Provide current market perspectives on pricing, structures, investor appetite, sector trends and comparable transactions to internal teams and clients. Ensure transaction processes are executed in accordance with applicable BBVA policies, regulatory requirements and internal governance standards. Support senior team members in business development and client coverage while independently managing substantial portions of live transactions and selected client/investor interactions. Contribute to the development of junior team members through modeling review, transaction guidance, quality control and knowledge sharing.
