Help shape the next phase of our Private Markets capability

This is an exciting time to join our Private Markets team.

We’re growing and evolving our investment capability, creating an opportunity for someone with strong structured credit and/or mortgage investment expertise to make a visible impact, bring fresh thinking and help shape how we work as we grow.

As an Investment Manager, you’ll work on complex, high-value investment opportunities across Structured Credit, Mortgage Solutions and broader Private Markets. You’ll be involved throughout the investment lifecycle, from assessing and structuring opportunities through to execution and ongoing portfolio management.

Just as importantly, we want you to challenge thinking, contribute new ideas and help us build smarter, more effective ways of working. This isn’t simply a role where you inherit an established playbook. You’ll have the opportunity to influence how our capability develops during a period of growth and transformation.

You’ll work alongside experienced investors, transaction specialists and colleagues across Standard Life and RS&AM, gaining broad exposure to the market while developing your own expertise, relationships and influence.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Lead and contribute to complex transactions across structured credit, securitisations, Equity Release Mortgages and other Private Markets investments.

Structure and execute internal and external securitisations, including ABS/CLO and mortgage-related transactions, optimising risk-adjusted returns and capital outcomes.

Work with Actuarial, Risk and Capital colleagues to evaluate assumptions, investment structures and regulatory considerations.

Analyse opportunities through detailed cash-flow modelling, credit analysis and investment recommendations.

Act as a key structuring partner across cross-functional deal teams, working with internal colleagues and external counter parties to progress transactions successfully.

Contribute to the evolution of our securitised asset and wider Private Markets strategy, bringing market insight, new ideas and constructive challenge.

Support pricing and negotiation of complex investments, including financial, commercial and legal terms.

Monitor portfolio performance, emerging risks and covenant compliance, supporting asset management and restructuring where required.
