You will work closely with and manage the relationships with external counsel in consultation with the Senior Banking and Finance lawyer.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Review, negotiation and implementation of documentation related to syndicated and bilateral credit facility agreements, securitisation transactions, debt capital market programmes, ISDA schedules and swap confirmations;
• Regularly updating offering documents and agreements for the debt capital market programmes;
• Ensuring compliance with the financing agreements and legislation applicable to the company’s financing activities.

Requirements:

• You are a qualified lawyer with at least 5  years of sound transactional experience in legal matters within the international capital markets and the (syndicated) loan market. 
• You should be able to move swiftly in a fast paced environment while maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality and reliability.
