About the job:
Summary of Responsibilities:
The Associate supports the Portfolio Monitoring & Solutions function by performing the day-to-day post-closing monitoring and control of BBVA's Structured Trade & Commodity Finance portfolio. The role is responsible for ensuring compliance with transaction documentation, monitoring collateral performance, validating borrower reporting and identifying emerging risks across a broad range of structured financing solutions. Working closely with Front Office, Credit Risk, Legal, Operations, Engineering, external service providers and clients, the Associate contributes to maintaining a robust portfolio monitoring framework while supporting portfolio reporting, process standardization and automation initiatives.
List Major/Essential Job Duties:

• Perform ongoing monitoring of Structured Trade & Commodity Finance transactions, including Commodity Borrowing Base Facilities, Inventory Finance, Warehouse Finance, Prepayments, Pre-Export Finance, Receivables Purchase Programs (RPP), Receivables Finance, Credit Insurance-backed transactions and other structured working capital facilities.
• Review and validate borrowing base certificates, collateral reports, inventory reports, warehouse reports and borrower financial information.
• Monitor collateral eligibility, advance rates, reserves, dilution, concentration limits, financial covenants and reporting requirements in accordance with transaction documentation.
• Identify, investigate and escalate exceptions, covenant breaches, reporting deficiencies and emerging portfolio risks.
• Review transaction documentation to understand collateral structures, security packages, insurance provisions, warehouse arrangements and monitoring obligations.
• Coordinate with Front Office, Credit Risk, Legal, Operations, Engineering and external collateral managers to resolve monitoring issues and outstanding documentation requirements.
• Support the onboarding of new transactions, amendments, renewals, refinancings and portfolio transfers by implementing monitoring requirements and controls.

Responsibilities require interpreting sophisticated legal and credit documentation, analyzing collateral performance and exercising sound judgment when identifying exceptions or emerging risks.
The Associate is expected to independently manage multiple transactions simultaneously while ensuring compliance with financing agreements, internal policies and regulatory requirements. Although major credit decisions remain with senior management and risk teams, the quality and timeliness of the Associate's monitoring activities are critical to the early identification of potential risks, protection of the Bank's collateral position and overall portfolio performance.
