Deputy Head of Debt Investments

2 months ago

Toronto, Canada Uncapped Full time

Remote role based in Toronto

We are looking to hire for this role on a B2B consultancy agreement, while still providing all the benefits outlined in the job description.

Role Overview

Are you an experienced investment professional with a strong background in making debt investments in fast-paced e-commerce companies? Are you eager to make a significant impact in the startup ecosystem? If so, Uncapped invites you to apply for the role of Deputy Head of Investments within our Risk team.

At Uncapped, we invest in growing businesses and ambitious founders. As Deputy Head of Investments, you will lead a team of highly motivated Investment Analysts, collaborating with a wide range of founders daily to help secure the working capital they need for business growth. Reporting to the Director of Investments (DOI), you will serve as their deputy in their absence. You’ll leverage your expertise to deepen our understanding of the markets, sectors, business models, and use cases we serve.

You will be responsible for the underwriting and credit performance of our largest, most complex clients throughout their lifecycle, while also offering support and guidance to Investment Associates on smaller deals. You’ll take ownership of our underwriting models, continuously improving processes and models to ensure optimal performance.

In addition to analysing financial statements and business plans, you’ll be adept at identifying risks from various sources, including business models, macroeconomic factors, and sector trends. As a gatekeeper, you will play a key role in ensuring our decisions are sound and secure.

By stepping into this role, you'll help fund thousands of growing e-commerce businesses that drive the global economy, contributing to both their success and Uncapped's future.

About Uncapped

Founded in 2019, Uncapped is the fastest, most affordable way for growing online businesses to fund marketing and inventory. The company was born out of frustration with the limited financing options available for UK and European entrepreneurs to finance growth.

Uncapped provides business advances of between £100k and £5m without personal guarantees, warrants, equity, or compounding interest -- and makes money by charging a low flat fee that is paid back from future sales revenue. Uncapped has raised $120 million from investors including Lakestar, Mouro Capital, Global Founders Capital, White Star Capital, Seedcamp, and All Iron Ventures.

What you will do ✍️

  • Provide leadership to a team of highly motivated investment analysts and guide them through their professional development
  • Evaluate strategic credit investment opportunities, make recommendations on size, length and structure of capital advances to the Credit Committee
  • Meet founders and their management teams during the underwriting process to understand their business model and assess their needs and their risk profile
  • Own underwriting models and be accountable for their performance
  • Lead the monthly large loan monitoring process to identify any risks to repayment
  • Support the Director of Investments in improving our underwriting capabilities through continuous process improvements
  • Stand in for the Director of Investments in their absence
  • Help create new products and work with commercial and technology teams to bring ideas to life

Requirements

Who you are

  • 10+ years of experience, with a significant portion focused on making large debt investment decisions(£/$2m+), preferably within the venture capital/venture debt/start-up financing ecosystem

  • Strong educational background in finance, preferably holding an accounting/finance degree or an MBA
  • Highly analytical, possessing expert-level experience and expertise in interpreting complex financial accounts/business data for underwriting purposes
  • A confident communicator who can effectively interview founders and their CFOs to understand their business and financial performance, and articulate our decisions and rationale back to them

  • Commercial mindset - the ability to find a deal while protecting the business
  • Organised, flexible and focused, with the ability to context-switch
