About this opportunity
We currently have an excellent opportunity for a director to join our Capital Structure Advisory (CSA) team. You'll be an integral part of a small team, working with a very wide variety of clients across our corporate franchise, as well as with rating agencies.
CSA is a key part of our large corporate franchise tasked with driving incremental debt financing mandates in partnerships with relationship managers and product experts. CSA achieves this through proactive idea generation and producing product-agnostic pitches to corporate clients, as well as through providing ratings advisory services, where we assist clients with acquiring ratings and managing their ratings profile.

Your accountabilities will include:

• Instigate and direct thematic research / content for clients, qualitative and quantitative, that helps foster client engagement and develop the broader Lloyds Corporate and Institutional Bank (CIB) franchise.
• Provide thought leadership in the creation of marketing materials, pitch books and reports, to ensure successful promotion of the bank and the team’s activities both internally and externally to develop an industry-leading profile in this area.
• Lead Capital Structure and ratings elements of client pitching.
• Support and lead execution work, whether that be ad hoc provision of ratings insight to product teams or fuller debt and ratings advisory engagements.
• Support Structure Finance & Syndicate (SF&S) and CIB’s origination agenda and targets (as delegated from time to time) through their work, focusing on driving client relevance and hence business opportunity for Lloyds.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with external partners in the market including ratings and advisory firms, representing LBG at the highest levels at industry events and with clients as we transform our business.
• Demonstrate strong capability to independently hold Capital Structure and credit ratings discussions with clients and be apt at partner management (both internally and externally).
• Build a strong network across the bank to help spot and pursue opportunities and join up and enhance client delivery.
