Main Duties:

  • Lead the origination, negotiation and close of a pipeline of investment opportunities that support the Bank's purpose and missions.
  • Work closely and collaboratively with Investment Risk colleagues on all investment opportunities from inception.
  • Work closely with the Partnerships & Engagement team in working with industry and government/other public sector partners in identifying areas where the private sector is not adequately providing finance or investment which is hampering the Scottish Government's economic, equality and net-zero ambitions.
  • In collaboration with the Investment Risk team and Partnership & Engagement team, identifying and quantifying both financial risks and social impacts, both positive and potentially negative, in all investment opportunities.
  • Undertake and manage the necessary due diligence, financial modelling, risk analysis and mitigation in the structuring of loans, equity investments or other deal structures.
