Director – Mezzanine Financing

ING Corporate Investments (ING CI) is the principal investments business of ING Wholesale Banking (ING WB), providing tailored financing and investment solutions to companies globally across multiple strategies including Equity Investments, Sustainable Investments, and Mezzanine financing.

We have a strong ambition to grow, with a mandate to triple Assets under Management in the coming years. We are strengthening our global franchise by adding origination and execution capacity to our existing teams in the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain and setting up new origination teams in key growth markets like Americas and APAC. 

For its Mezzanine team, ING CI is hiring a Director in Amsterdam. As Director in our Mezzanine team you will play a key role in growing the EMEA mezzanine franchise. You will be responsible for originating mezzanine transactions and other forms of junior and subordinated debt financing.

In this role you will work closely with ING WB’s sector coverage teams to provide integrated capital solutions to key clients and prospects of ING WB. As one of the EMEA directors in our team you will take responsible for coverage of one or more sectors or countries, depending on your experience and preference. You are expected to integrate ING CI’s Mezzanine product into ING WB’s client, enabling ING WB to build deeper client relationships and use ING CI’s expertise and balance sheet solutions to solve complex financing challenges for our clients’ C-suite. 

Your Profile

As a candidate for this role you will have at least 10 years of commercial experience in banking, private credit or in an equity investing environment. A deep understanding of instruments across the capital structure is essential. You are action-oriented, self-starting and you thrive in demanding client settings and fast-paced transaction environments. Ideally you have transaction experience spanning a wide range of industries, verticals and countries. Success in this role requires a proven track record of originating and executing complex financing transactions, with the ability to steer transaction deal teams in areas like financial modelling, due diligence and documentation and to lead commercial and legal negotiations with clients and lawyers. You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as a high degree of integrity and professionalism. The values and behaviors of the ING Orange Code are naturally close to you, and you are as much focused on your own success as on that of your team members and other ING teams you work with.

ING CI has a distinctive culture and a diverse team. Our people are creative and have the independence of mind to be unconventional, to think differently and to take calculated risks. We attach a lot of value to our people blossoming outside of work, with a culture where trust and accountability to get the work done go hand in hand with arrangements for remote work, parental leave and with the flexibility to set your own agenda.
