Finance Analyst - Funding

Admiral Money is continuing to grow and this new role will play a pivotal role in supporting that growth, by introducing improved efficiency and robustness to our existing processes within the DCM function.

About Admiral Money

Admiral Money (AFSL) is an exciting, new division of Admiral Group. We have the freedom and innovation of a small start up with the security of a large parent company, Admiral. 

The journey started when we launched unsecured personal loans in June 2017. We went on to be the first direct to consumer car finance provider in December 2017. Since then, we have gone from strength to strength and have some exciting plans for the future.

We’re looking for people who are keen to learn, excited about getting stuck in and are ready for a challenge to help us to achieve our aim of creating a special lending business for our customers.

About the Role

This role will be based in Cardiff as part of the Admiral Money finance team, reporting to the Head of Debt Capital Markets.

• Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure the delivery of new funding requirements to meet the strategic objectives of the business.
• Managing the production and presentation of high quality financial and portfolio reporting to external stakeholders (banks, investors, rating agencies, law firms, corporate service providers and other third parties linked to our funding facilities).
• Coordinating DCM projects (e.g. new warehouses, mezzanine funding, securitisation, forward flow, changes to existing funding contracts, etc.) and working to ensure that these projects are delivered within the associated deadlines.
• Ensuring there is an effective internal control framework operated within the DCM function.
• Build and maintain relationships with key third parties (banks, investors, rating agencies, etc.).

Requirements

• You will have a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in finance, accounting, business administration or a similar relevant subject.
• Experience in relevant business funding activities for non-bank lenders (warehouses, public securitisation, etc.).
• Excellent MS Excel skills and financial modelling experience.
