Securitized Products Group (ABS Principal Finance & Latin America) - Vice President

Job Description

J.P. Morgan's ABS Originations team structures and executes asset-backed financings for clients across the U.S. and Latin America, from established financial institutions to emerging fintech lenders. We are hiring a Vice President to lead financings, develop client relationships, and help expand our presence in Latin America while contributing to U.S. ABS Principal Finance activity. You will work closely with senior leadership and own transactions from initial discussions through closing and ongoing portfolio management. The role suits someone who enjoys building a franchise as much as executing deals, and it offers exposure across asset classes, structures, and markets.

Job responsibilities

• Originate, structure, price, and execute asset-backed financings for clients across the Americas, with a particular focus on Latin America.
• Lead private ABS financings backed by assets such as auto loans, payroll loans, credit card receivables, unsecured consumer loans, and SME loans.
• Execute loan portfolio purchases, forward-flow arrangements, private warehouses, and other structured financings.
• Contribute to U.S. ABS Principal Finance activity across student loans, auto, unsecured consumer, SME, and other specialty finance assets, as well as single-family real estate and iBuyer strategies.
• Manage client relationships and serve as a point of contact for counterparties, coverage teams, rating agencies, and legal counsel.
• Run each stage of a transaction, from pitching and analysis through structuring, due diligence, documentation, negotiation, and closing.
• Analyze asset-level data and historical performance, and build portfolio cash flow and transaction models to inform pricing, structure, valuation, and risk assessment.
• Oversee transactions after closing through portfolio surveillance, position and risk management, marking, hedging, and P&L monitoring.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• At least five years of experience in securitization or structured finance, including substantive work with asset-backed transactions. Relevant experience may come from banking, investing, lending, rating agencies, or advisory roles.
• Ability to analyze asset performance and cash flows and use the results to assess transaction structure and risk.
• Experience structuring, executing, and managing asset-backed financings.
• Professional fluency in Spanish and English, with the ability to engage with clients and review transaction materials in both languages.
• Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work across teams and with external stakeholders.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience leading asset-backed transactions through documentation and closing.
• Experience with Latin American clients, credit markets, or asset classes.
• Ability to independently model, price, and structure ABS transactions.
• Familiarity with rating agency methodologies and the accounting, capital, tax, and legal considerations relevant to structured finance.
• Python experience for data analysis and workflow automation.
