Outline of the role

The Insurance and Financial Services Team is a product team within Financial Institutions Group, responsible for both equity and debt projects in insurance, asset management and pensions, leasing consumer finance, stock exchanges and companies related to local capital markets infrastructure. The Team is also responsible for structured solutions to offer counterparties alternative funding sources and/or capital relief instruments by investments into Asset Backed Securitisation (ABS), Diversified Payment Rights, Covered Bonds and Non-Performing Loans. The Associate Banker will be performing different tasks and functions in support of senior members of the team, in particular, providing support in the structured finance projects.

The role of the Associate Banker is to contribute, as a project team member, to the structuring, implementation and monitoring of debt, equity or structured product transactions, and their effective implementation and monitoring in line with the Bank's operational objectives.

Accountabilities & Responsibilities

Under the guidance of the operation leader or a more senior banker:

  • Work as a project team member on transactions, contributing to all aspects of project structuring and execution, including working with client counterparts, consultants and other parties to progress the project;
  • Be the primary driver of the scope and quality of project due diligence, including financial, market, integrity and EBRD policy compliance;
  • Prepare internal project documentation, including approval project memoranda, financial models, draft term sheets, presentations, etc. as and when required;
  • Ensure that all tasks within his/her are completed within the specified time frames to a high standard and in line with the policies, procedures and objectives of the Bank.
  • Take responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of all projects to which the Associate Banker is assigned, including compliance with project agreements and Bank procedures related to disbursement; monitoring of progress of the project implementation and financial performance of the client; assessing evolving risk factors and monitoring and assessing covenant compliance, in the case of more senior Associate's they may become the OL for the project once it is in implementation and/or monitoring phase;
  • Prepare timely and comprehensive monitoring reports and include recommendations for corrective actions where required and ensure these proposed corrective actions and recommendations are brought to the attention of more senior team members;
  • As a project team member perform all such tasks as may be assigned by the operation leader and provide constructive advice, guidance and supervision to more junior members of the project team.


The responsibilities of the Associate Banker are designed to allow for the development of transaction expertise and expansion of responsibilities, leading to assuming the role of an operation leader on standard, non-complex transactions. In such cases, the Associate Banker's accountabilities and responsibilities would be increased to undertake a role of an operation leader under the supervision/guidance of more senior bankers or the Team Director.
