Director, Capital Markets

RUM Group is seeking a Director, Capital Markets to develop and execute the Company’s capital-markets strategy, including debt financing, liquidity management, capital structure planning, lender and investor relationships, and financial risk management. This role will partner closely with the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, FP&A, Accounting, Legal, Corporate Development, and executive leadership to ensure the Company has efficient access to capital and a disciplined approach to financing, capital allocation, and financial risk.

This is a senior finance leadership role for an analytically rigorous and commercially minded professional who can evaluate financing alternatives, navigate market conditions, and lead complex transactions from initial analysis through closing and post-close compliance. You will oversee the structuring, negotiation, and execution of financing transactions; maintain strategic relationships with banks, lenders, investors, rating agencies, and advisors; and provide clear, actionable recommendations to executive leadership and the Board regarding liquidity, debt capacity, capital structure, financial risk, and market conditions.

The ideal candidate brings experience in capital markets, treasury, corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, corporate development, commercial banking, or a related discipline. You should be comfortable operating in time-sensitive, high-stakes situations involving acquisitions, refinancing, capital investment, or changing liquidity needs. Success in this role requires strong transaction-management capability, advanced financial modeling, executive presence, and the ability to balance growth objectives, cost of capital, liquidity, risk, and governance. Debt capital-markets work commonly involves structuring and executing financing solutions while providing market insight on timing, pricing, funding costs, and long-term capital structure.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute capital-markets strategies that support the Company’s growth plans, operating needs, acquisitions, refinancing requirements, capital-investment priorities, and long-term capital structure objectives. Evaluate and recommend the appropriate mix of debt, equity, structured financing, leasing, asset-backed financing, private placements, revolving credit facilities, and other funding sources. Analyze financing alternatives, market conditions, borrowing costs, debt capacity, covenant implications, capital-allocation tradeoffs, and potential dilution or return considerations.

Lead the structuring, negotiation, and execution of financing transactions, including revolving credit facilities, term loans, notes, private placements, letters of credit, guarantees, and other debt or capital instruments. Manage refinancing activity, debt maturities, funding requirements, and related execution plans to maintain adequate liquidity and financial flexibility. Lead diligence processes and coordinate internal stakeholders and external advisors in connection with capital raising, refinancing, acquisition financing, and other strategic transactions. Prepare investment memoranda, financing recommendations, executive summaries, Board materials, and other decision-support analyses.

Oversee short- and long-term liquidity planning, including cash-flow forecasting, available borrowing capacity, working-capital requirements, debt-service obligations, and contingency funding plans. Monitor and recommend actions related to capital structure, leverage, interest expense, liquidity ratios, debt maturities, covenant headroom, and credit metrics. Manage compliance with debt agreements, financial covenants, reporting obligations, collateral requirements, and other lender commitments. Assess counterparty, refinancing, market, interest-rate, foreign-exchange, and liquidity risks, and recommend practical mitigation measures and escalation protocols.

Develop and execute interest-rate, foreign-exchange, and other financial-risk-management strategies, as applicable. Partner with Treasury and Accounting to ensure accurate financial reporting, accounting treatment, disclosure, and audit readiness for debt, derivatives, financing costs, and capital-markets activity. Support dividend, share-repurchase, pension-funding, and other capital-allocation analyses as applicable to the Company’s business model and governance structure. Maintain disciplined transaction documentation, controls, reporting, and post-close compliance practices.

Build and maintain strategic relationships with banks, lenders, institutional investors, private-credit providers, rating agencies, brokers, underwriters, legal counsel, and financial advisors. Lead lender, investor, and rating-agency communications, including preparation of financial models, presentations, due-diligence materials, and management discussion points. Coordinate financing roadshows, lender presentations, credit-agreement negotiations, rating-agency reviews, and other external engagement activities. Monitor market trends, interest-rate movements, investor appetite, credit conditions, and comparable-company financing activity, translating relevant developments into actionable recommendations for leadership. Negotiate banking fees, financing terms, covenant structures, reporting obligations, and other commercial terms in support of the Company’s interests.

Serve as a strategic advisor to the CFO, Treasurer, executive leadership team, and Board on financing strategy, liquidity, capital allocation, and financial risk. Partner with FP&A to align capital planning, forecasting, scenario analysis, and strategic plans with financing capacity and liquidity requirements. Collaborate with Corporate Development and business leaders on acquisition financing, valuation, diligence, transaction structuring, and integration-related financial planning. Partner with Legal on financing documentation, securities-law considerations, regulatory requirements, lender negotiations, and transaction execution. Work closely with Investor Relations, where applicable, to support consistent communication with investors, analysts, rating agencies, and other external stakeholders.
