J.P. Morgan’s ABS Originations team operates at the intersection of Corporate Finance and Markets — an active structured finance platform across the Americas. We analyze, structure, and execute innovative asset-backed financings for clients ranging from large financial institutions to emerging fintech lenders across the U.S. and Latin America.
We are hiring a Vice President to take on meaningful responsibility across the platform, including origination, structuring, and execution of transactions across asset classes and jurisdictions. The role also carries a particular focus on Latin America, where the franchise is growing and there is significant opportunity to help develop client relationships and expand the business.
The role would suit someone who enjoys building as well as executing — someone who is comfortable leading transactions, working across geographies, and contributing to the direction of a growing platform. You will work closely with senior leadership and have exposure to the full transaction lifecycle, from origination and structuring through diligence, documentation, execution, and ongoing portfolio management.
