Job description

We are Growth Lending. We work with innovative and high-growth companies. We enable them to accelerate their growth by providing a range of flexible credit solutions. We provide facilities from 2-10m and have lent more than 1bn to more than 500 companies over the last decade. We have a global footprint with offices in London, Manchester, Bristol, Manila, Atlanta and Cape Town. This role is based in Cape Town.

This is an amazing opportunity for a skilled and experienced investment professional. You’ll be CA qualified with 4-6 years post-qualification experience. You will have deep financial analysis expertise and pride yourself on creating thorough, balanced investment papers. Exposure to SMEs and high-growth companies in corporate and commercial finance is also vital. You’ll manage more than one deal at a time working with a wide range of external contacts and know how to present your work with clarity and consistency.

We offer a range of loan‑type products that support the growth of SMEs in the UK and US. You will join our team of deal execution experts to pair with deal‑originators in the UK. Once we find a solid opportunity our Debt Structuring Managers work with the sales team to take deals through to credit. We have a range of products so you will learn to work with a range of risk factors. You’ll scrutinise potential portfolio companies and prepare detailed, impactful credit papers. Conducting financial due diligence you’ll communicate findings to your colleagues. You will enjoy analysing deals across various sectors bringing a forensic and pragmatic approach to all. Once you understand our processes and markets you will present your deal’s value to your senior colleagues. This role is ideal for someone who takes responsibility for both their own success and also that of the wider team.

This role stands out from many that are similar. Our sales team relies on our Debt Structuring Managers to interrogate every deal as if they were investing their own money. We invest with great integrity so your work is never a rubber‑stamping exercise. We will expect you to become an expert in SME funding and to look at deals from all sides.

We are a collective of individuals working towards a goal. We have a strong track record of enabling diverse team members to achieve exceptional professional growth. We hire people who are driven to be the best they can be and then offer exceptional training and coaching to maximise their growth. If you are looking for a role and an organisation that is less ordinary then please reach out to us.
