Director Asset Backed Financing

Fundraising for the SPV

• Own the debt fundraising process end-to-end: build the lender universe, prepare the data room, run the process, negotiate term sheets, and drive transactions to close.
• Engage banks, private credit funds, and alternative lenders—starting with a first warehouse or seed facility and progressing to larger or syndicated structures over time.
• Build and maintain ongoing relationships with debt capital providers as a repeatable funding channel.

Structuring & Modeling

• Build the cash flow models, waterfalls, and capital structure analyses that underpin every facility.
• Define and negotiate advance rates, eligibility criteria, concentration limits, covenants, triggers, and reserve mechanics.
• Pressure-test structures against downside scenarios and ensure the vehicle remains robust as the asset pool scales.

Running the Vehicle

• Stand up the operational backbone of the SPV: borrowing base calculations, lender reporting, compliance certificates, servicer reports, audit trails.
• Own data quality end-to-end—from the operating company's source systems to the data tape that lenders see each month.
• Manage amendments, waivers, upsizes, and refinancings as the program matures.

Strategic Partnership

• Partner with the CEO, Director Finance, and Commercial leadership to align the financing program with commercial models such as Robotics-as-a-Service, equipment leasing, or customer financing.
• Advise on contract design, pricing, and unit economics where financing structures create constraints or unlock new offerings.
• Brief the Board and equity investors on the program—capacity, cost of capital, and the trade-off between dilutive and non-dilutive funding.

Qualifications:

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Economics, or a related field with a focus on Finance.
• 5+ years of practical experience in structured finance, securitization, asset-based lending, or private credit, ideally a mix of originating-side (investment bank, structured finance desk, debt fund) and borrower-side (corporate treasury or finance team that has closed an ABF facility).
• Demonstrable track record of taking at least one asset-backed structure from concept to close. Experience financing hardware, equipment, or recurring-revenue contracts is a strong plus.

Soft Skills

• A builder's mindset with high ownership—energized by a blank page and willing to do the unglamorous setup work alongside the strategic negotiation.
• Strong commercial judgment and a pragmatic approach to structuring in a technology-driven environment.
• Excellent communication skills—able to translate structured finance concepts for Founders, engineers, and Board members alike.
• Fluency in written and spoken English (German optional).

Our interview plan:

• Application
• Take‑home assignment: A short structuring case with clear instructions and a deadline—size a facility for a hypothetical asset pool, propose a structure, flag the key risks.
• Cultural fit interview (40 min): A conversation about how you work, what motivates you, and what you're looking for. Expect CV highlights, your "why," and time for your questions.
• Interview with our Director Finance (60 min): A discussion on capital strategy, prior deals, and how the role connects to company priorities.
• On‑site visit: Meet the team and one of the Founders at our office and collaborate on a real challenge similar to the work you'd do here. You'll get a clear feel for the environment and ways of working.
