Job Description

At CommBank, we’re committed to building a brighter future for our customers and communities. Within Institutional Banking & Markets (IB&M), Structured Asset Finance (SAF) plays a key role in enabling investment across transport, infrastructure, supply chains, energy transition, and industrial sectors. CommBank’s SAF team are recognised as leaders in the market, including our ability to take residual value risk in various assets.

We’re looking for a high-performing Director to join our origination and structuring team, focused on driving new business, deepening client relationships, and delivering complex asset-backed financing solutions.

The opportunity

This is a front-office role at the heart of SAF’s growth agenda, where you will originate, structure and oversee execution of transactions while building a strong personal franchise across clients, sponsors, and internal stakeholders.

You’ll work closely with Client Coverage, Product, Markets, SAF Executions and Risk teams to deliver tailored financing solutions, playing a critical role in expanding SAF’s presence across both IB&M and large Business Bank clients.

What you’ll do

  • Originate new Structured Asset Finance opportunities through proactive banker and client engagement, and market activity

  • Build and maintain senior relationships with clients, sponsors, advisers and internal stakeholders

  • Lead transactions end-to-end, from origination through structuring, credit approval and hand-over to executions

  • Provide input into sector-based origination strategies aligned to SAF’s priorities

  • Structure and deliver tailored asset-backed financing solutions, including lending and leasing

  • Partner across Coverage, Risk, Treasury and Legal to deliver commercial, well-governed outcomes

What you bring

  • Extensive experience in structured or asset-based finance, or related disciplines such as project finance, leveraged finance or private credit

  • Proven track record of originating and executing complex financing transactions, with a proactive approach to sourcing new opportunities

  • Strong technical expertise across structuring, credit, capital and documentation

  • Strong stakeholder management, influencing and negotiation skills

  • Experience working in a client-focused, transaction-driven environment, balancing client outcomes with risk-adjusted returns

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to join a growing and strategically important financing platform within one of Australia’s leading institutional banks. You’ll work on high-impact transactions across critical sectors of the economy, while building your personal profile as a senior originator within a collaborative, high-performing team. With strong internal connectivity across IB&M and Business Bank, the role offers significant scope to grow relationships, drive origination and contribute to the continued expansion of the Structured Asset Finance franchise.

If you’re a commercially driven originator who thrives on building relationships, sourcing opportunities and delivering complex transactions, we’d love to hear from you.
