Senior Origination Specialist
Senior origination specialists handle the more substantive origination work — managing strategic counterparty relationships, leading complex deals, and often guiding junior staff.
What it's like to be a Senior Origination Specialist
A typical day mixes outreach at depth — strategic conversations, complex contracts — with internal coordination about pricing, terms, and risk.
Collaboration involves counterparties, internal trading or operations, and junior origination staff. What's harder than expected is the long horizon of relationship-building — origination is about counterparties choosing you over years.
People who thrive tend to be knowledgeable about their market, patient, and good at long-term relationship-building. If you've built a counterparty book, the role often fits well.
