Associate Director - Debt Capital Markets

MUFG Pension & Market Services · Hong Kong

We are seeking an experienced Associate Director to join our specialist cross-border Debt Issuer Services team in Hong Kong. This is a unique opportunity to work at the centre of complex, high-value Debt Capital Markets (DCM) transactions across Asia and global markets.

This role offers strong exposure to cross-border transactions, working alongside execution teams in Hong Kong, London and New York.

This position is ideally suited to someone who combines strong client engagement capability with hands-on transaction execution and operational ownership.

Solid understanding of DCM operational processes (tender offers, exchange offers, consent solicitations etc.)
Proven track record working across Asia (Europe and/or US exposure advantageous)
Strong balance of client engagement capability and transaction execution experience
