As Head of Structured Solutions, you will take ownership of an established, revenue\-generating credit fund and the counterparty relationships that sit behind it, while setting the strategic direction for what we build next. You will report directly to the CFO, own the house view on structured product strategy, act as the primary interface with our external licensed Investment Manager and the Investment Committee, and have the mandate and budget to grow the team as the function scales. This is a rare combination: a live book with existing counterparties, an established governance process, and dedicated analyst support from day one, alongside genuine authority to shape what Xapo Bank's structured product offering becomes and to build the team you need to deliver it. You will have a structured transition period working alongside experienced outgoing team members to absorb institutional knowledge, models, data, and counterparty context. Credit judgement is central to this role, not a supporting activity. Counterparty selection, due diligence and ongoing monitoring are how the credit fund is managed day to day, so we need someone whose underwriting is as strong as their structuring, as credible assessing a counterparty as they are designing a payoff profile, with the judgement to walk away from a deal that prices well but underwrites badly. **In your first 12 months you will:** * Take full ownership of the fund and its counterparty relationships, completing the knowledge transfer from the outgoing team. * Establish your operating rhythm with the Investment Committee and the licensed Investment Manager. * Set out the forward roadmap for Xapo's structured product offering and the resourcing to deliver it. **Responsibilities** -------------------- **Strategy and product:** * Set the strategic direction and house view for structured investment solutions, identifying and designing new structured products for the Xapo client base. * Lead delivery of yield products, tokenisation initiatives, Bitcoin Backed Loans, and other new structures from concept through to launch, from payoff profile through to delivery mechanism, including regulatory consequences. * Responsible for driving Xapo's internal investment committee, a monthly forum with the CEO, CFO, and Head of Product, on new ideas, products, and structures. **Credit, due diligence, and risk:** FUND * Own comprehensive initial due diligence on prospective counterparties and ongoing due diligence on existing ones, covering counterparty financial analysis, business processes, and risk evaluation. * Produce credit assessments in a standardised, committee\-ready format suitable for review by the licensed Investment Manager and the Investment Committee. * Maintain ongoing credit risk oversight of the book, ensuring positions are managed appropriately and the fund operates within its mandate at all times. * Set, monitor, and enforce exposure, concentration, and limit frameworks, escalating breaches and emerging risks promptly. XAPO * Work alongside the Risk function on price risk and credit risk evaluation, system requirements, and regulatory consequences. **Fund Origination, execution, and relationships:** * Identify and originate new counterparties for the fund to lend to. * Prepare and present due diligence and lending proposals through the Investment Committee, owning the quality and rigour of the committee process. * Support Legal in negotiating the fund's standard documentation with counterparties through to close. * Maintain and evolve counterparty relationships across the life of each facility, keeping engagement current across all commercial and operational matters. **Fund operations and stakeholder management:** * Act as the primary point of engagement with the external licensed Investment Manager on regulated fund management activity, maintaining constant contact. * Oversee fund operations and accounting, liaising with the fund administrator and fund accountant to ensure NAV is struck correctly an
