Within Financial Institutions (FI), the NBFI PCM (Non Bank FI Payments and Cash Management) team has a strong focus on Financial Sponsors in addition to asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds and PSPs. Financial Sponsors are firms which raise funds from third party investors to invest in the private equity and private credit situations. They support the management of companies in which they invest seeking to grow the value of their investments prior to exiting these investments typically within 3 to 7 years through trade sales or initial public offerings. Many of these funds are established in Luxembourg where ING has a strong presence. Banking services can be provided at holding company, fund level or on portfolio operating company level.
This is a new function where your primary objective is to originate new cash management mandates within Financials Sponsors portfolio; to identify prospect clients and to grow the PCM business with existing clients by offering new services or products at HoldCo and fund level and facilitate this at Opco level. You will be the primary contact on PCM related topics for the client and internal contact for relevant stakeholders on all items relating to PCM products and services, discussing new needs or requirements, price setting, implementation, and customer support, within the international setting of the ING network. In addition, you investigate and coordinate the requirements on Opco level and hand over to the appropriate corporate sales teams.

Your profile
An energetic individual with drive and a thorough understanding of Funds business, of the Cash Management products and Treasury operations, owning and managing prospect deals until signing of the mandate. There is only a limited number of RFP’s as new business is primarily conducted on the reputation, trust and knowledge of the Institutions and the Sales Consultant involved.
Therefore, you need to demonstrate strong communication skills, understand the Funds business and the market environment in which it operates, be prepared to research the client’s business, understand how the various services work and meet the needs of the client. This means meeting the clients, exploring their needs and working together with the client and the Virtual Client Team to deliver solutions to their needs across the network.
There will also be times when you need to be flexible to help colleagues and clients to resolve any operational or other issues: building the trust with the clients. Finally you cannot succeed on your own and to be successful, you need to be a team player and be supportive.
