• Global Institutional Business is organized across five main sectors: Banks, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management, Public Sector, and Financial Sponsors.
• The area has redefined its strategic approach, ASP3N, which aims, among other objectives, to continue strengthening BBVA’s institutional client franchise through a comprehensive front-to-back business transformation.
• BBVA’s institutional business is structured around two main pillars: product development and a commercial coverage model focused on increasing specialization, enhancing the level of client interaction, and improving commercial processes.

Description

• The Senior Analyst will be a member of the Global Institutional Business (GIB) NextGen Pool, supporting client coverage, business development and transaction execution across GIB’s institutional client platform, with a significant focus on Financial Sponsors.
• The Senior Analyst’s primary responsibility will be to support Relationship Managers in developing, marketing and delivering BBVA’s wide range of products and services to institutional clients. Given the current needs of the business, a significant portion of the role will involve supporting Financial Sponsors relationships and related opportunities, while remaining part of the broader GIB pool.
• The Senior Analyst will coordinate closely with Relationship Managers and Product partners across the United States, Europe, Latin America and other relevant geographies to support client coverage and transaction execution, including proposal preparation and coordination with Risk, Portfolio Management, Legal, Operations, Finance and other internal teams.
• The role combines day-to-day client coverage responsibilities with financial and credit analysis, market and sector research, transaction execution and non-routine commercial assignments such as pitches and strategic projects.
• The position offers the opportunity to progressively deepen Financial Sponsors expertise while continuing to gain broader exposure across the GIB platform.

Management Responsibilities

Senior Analysts operate within the Global Institutional Business NextGen Pool, working across different Senior Bankers, clients, sectors and assignments based on business priorities and staffing needs.

This position will have a significant focus on Financial Sponsors, allowing the Senior Analyst to build greater continuity and progressively deepen their knowledge of the sector, its clients and relevant banking opportunities. At the same time, as a member of the broader GIB pool, the Senior Analyst may support assignments across Banks, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management and Public Sector based on business needs, staffing requirements and development opportunities.

Senior Analysts are expected to progressively deepen their knowledge of the clients and sectors they support, take increasing ownership of assigned workstreams and client-related responsibilities, and proactively identify and follow up on potential business opportunities.
