Head of Structured Solutions -Digital Assets, Structured Finance - Tallentire

Our client is a regulated financial institution operating at the intersection of digital assets and traditional finance. They are establishing a new Structured Solutions function and are looking for a senior leader to own it.

This is not a build-from-nothing brief. You inherit an established, revenue-generating credit fund together with its counterparty relationships, an existing governance framework, and dedicated analyst support from day one. Alongside that comes a genuine mandate to set strategic direction, design what gets built next, and grow the team as the function scales.

You will report into C-suite, own the house view on structured product strategy, and act as the principal interface with the investment committee and key external partners.

• Set the strategic direction for structured investment solutions, identifying and designing new products for a sophisticated client base
• Lead delivery of yield products, digital asset-backed lending and tokenisation initiatives from concept through to launch, including the regulatory implications
• Own initial and ongoing due diligence on counterparties, producing committee-ready credit assessments
• Set, monitor and enforce exposure, concentration and limit frameworks, escalating risks promptly
• Originate new counterparties and take lending proposals through investment committee to close, supporting Legal on documentation
• Oversee fund operations alongside the fund administrator and accountant, ensuring NAV is struck correctly
• Provide advisory input to Treasury on risk evaluation, pricing, ALCO and stress testing
• Build, mentor and expand a small team of analysts

Credit judgement sits at the centre of this role. We need someone whose underwriting is as strong as their structuring — as credible assessing a counterparty as they are designing a payoff profile, with the judgement to walk away from a deal that prices well but underwrites badly.

• Substantial experience across investment management, structured products or digital asset markets, including senior ownership of a product, credit or trading function
• Demonstrable credit underwriting and counterparty risk experience, ideally including unsecured lending
• Ability to diligence both sides of the market: regulated institutions using audited financials, capital position and covenant analysis, and digital asset counterparties, including custody and rehypothecation risk, venue exposure, on-chain analysis and complex cross-jurisdictional structures
• Strong quantitative capability, comfortable building or overseeing pricing, risk and structuring models
• A track record of designing and launching new financial products
• Experience operating through formal governance processes such as investment committees
• Proven people leadership and a genuine interest in where digital assets and structured finance meet

Regulated fund structures, fund operations and NAV processes, existing digital asset counterparty networks, balance sheet and treasury experience within a regulated credit institution.
