About the role

Ledgend Group is hiring for a Vice President or Director of Structured Finance with an independent investment bank in New York. Our client is a boutique structuring and placement agent with a growing mandate book across infrastructure credit, equipment finance, specialty finance, litigation finance, and other esoteric asset classes. This is a build seat reporting directly to the founder, with real ownership of execution and meaningful upside tied to the deals you close.
What you will do:
  • Structure asset-backed and esoteric transactions end to end, from initial design through closing
  • Build and maintain cash flow and waterfall models, including tranching, credit enhancement, and trigger structures
  • Own the rating agency process, including model reviews, methodology discussions, and securing preliminary and final ratings
  • Work directly with issuers, sponsors, legal counsel, and investors through documentation and execution
  • Support origination and grow into client coverage over time
What we are looking for:
  • Five or more years in structured finance, securitization, or asset-backed finance
  • Hands-on structuring experience across ABS, esoteric, or specialty finance asset classes
  • Rating agency fluency and strong cash flow modeling skills
  • Series 79 and 63, or the ability to obtain them promptly
  • Comfort operating in a small, entrepreneurial environment where you own your work
Compensation is base salary plus a direct share of fee revenue on transactions you execute, with no cap. All inquiries are confidential. Interest, questions, and referrals are welcome.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
