We seek qualified candidates who work with integrity and excellence, and who value teamwork, customer service, diversity, and accountability. 

Position Overview: 

The Head of Asset Recovery leads the end-to-end resolution of problem loans, developing and executing recovery strategies that protect principal and maximize outcomes through restructuring, settlement, liquidation, or exit. This role conducts detailed borrower and guarantor financial analysis, recommends risk grade/accrual and loss recognition actions, and negotiates and documents workout arrangements while monitoring ongoing performance.

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Rapid Asset & Cash Flow Stabilization: Immediately analyzes distressed SME business operations to evaluate the true conversion cycle of short-term collateral (accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment) to determine the optimal recovery strategy (turnaround, restructure, settlement, liquidation, or exit) maximizing financial recovery

  • Guarantor & Personal Asset Pursuit: Evaluates and aggressively pursues secondary repayment sources, including personal and corporate guarantors, utilizing asset searches to secure additional collateral or liens. 
  • Early Intervention Consulting: Partners with frontline SME lending teams to identify early warning signs of deteriorating liquidity (e.g., overdraft patterns, frequent loan extensions, trade payment delays) to mitigate / minimize losses before default. 
  • Litigation & Post-Judgment Strategy: Coordinates with outside legal counsel providing supporting documentation, reviewing and approving legal invoices, and coordinating responses to execute rapid legal remedies such as temporary restraining orders (TROs), writs of attachment, confessions of judgment, and post-judgment garnishments. Attend and support legal proceedings as required (hearings, depositions, trials, etc.) 
  • Portfolio Reporting & Compliance: Prepares specific impairment analyses, criticized asset reports, and charge-off recommendations for senior management. Ensures all workout strategies comply with internal credit policies and banking regulations. Communicate regularly with Senior Leadership, including formal portfolio reporting as required. 
  • Leadership: Acts as a subject matter expert and mentor to junior workout specialists on the unique risks inherent to asset-backed commercial lines of credit and short-term debt structures.
