Navient Solutions

Navient Corporation
This is a hybrid role based in our Herndon, VA office.
The Capital Markets Manager is a hands-on, front-office role responsible for executing the company's funding strategy across derivatives, debt issuance, and liquidity management. This role sits at the center of capital markets activity-actively structuring and executing transactions, managing interest rate exposure, and working directly with bank trading desks to manage risk and funding costs.
You'll lead the execution of derivative strategies tied to secured and unsecured funding and existing balance sheet exposures, including real-time monitoring of positions, valuations, and counterparty exposure. You'll also play a key role in bringing transactions to market-working closely with internal partners, banks, and investors to structure and execute ABS, warehouse, and unsecured debt deals from origination through post-issuance.
This is a fast-paced, execution-heavy role with direct impact on the business. You'll operate with a high degree of ownership, contributing to lending strategy, pricing, and funding decisions, while partnering with ALCO and senior leadership on liquidity, risk, and capital allocation. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, comfort working in the market in real time, and the ability to operate independently in a high-volume environment.
This is an open level role. Final level will be determined based on the selected candidate's experience and qualifications.
