Your work environment

We are looking for our next colleague to join our Brussels based Infrastructure Sector team within Wholesale Banking.

Our team is part of ING’s global Infrastructure franchise located in Brussels, London, Madrid, New York and Sydney. We cover primarily infrastructure funds, as well as infrastructure companies (e.g. airports, regulated utilities, ferries) and contractors active in infrastructure projects.

Our Brussels team acts as a centre of excellence, thus our geographical scope is the wider EMEA region, so you will work primarily on international transactions.

We aim to provide creative multi-product solutions through a broad range of services (from debt capital markets, to a.o. sustainability linked products), and our team is expert in delivering acquisition financing, traditional project finance, whole business securitisation and fund financing structures.

Our ambition is to leverage on ING’s key three pillars:

1. Our global reach, with local experts
2. We are sector experts
3. We are sustainability pioneers

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.

• Draft new business proposals, credit modifications and annual reviews
• Perform client and credit administration primarily through timely, complete and correct data input and data management in the relevant support systems in line with internal procedures and guidelines
• Participate in client and bank calls/meetings
• Side projects such as internal reporting and business development
