• Negotiating and agreeing key terms embedded within term sheets and Loan Market Association facility agreements, ensuring compliance with HSBC’S internal policy, relevant credit approvals and aligning with common market positions.
• You will participate in all parties calls covering key commercial issues alongside legal and policy points.
