Your work environment

You will work in the Infrastructure sector team based in Brussels. The team aims at providing international and domestic clients with creative multi-product solutions through a broad range of services, and is expert in delivering leveraged buyout, traditional project finance, whole business securitisation and fund financing structures.

The Infrastructure sector team is part of a global Infrastructure franchise that covers primarily funds active in the infrastructure market, as well as infrastructure companies (e.g. airports, regulated utilities, ferries), and contractors active in infrastructure projects. The Brussels team is well integrated with the London team and together cover all clients in the EMEA region. Occasionally the team is also providing support to the US team (based in New York) or the Australian team (based in Sydney).

The position involves contacts with international clients, banks and advisors as well as cooperation with internal teams such as Risk Management, Financial Markets, Transaction Services, Loan Syndications, Agency and support functions. Working in the front office, you will be involved in the origination, structuring, negotiation, execution and monitoring of transactions. You will liaise with ING teams both in Belgium and across the world.

Key words for the work are creativity, complexity and international focus which makes this environment an area particularly suited for candidates with strong analytical skills, tenacity, eye for detail and high commercial drive.
