Descripción del trabajo You won't be selling a service. You'll be selling banks a way to optimise their regulatory capital.
Since CRR3/CRD VI came into force, European banks can use ratings from ESMA-registered ECAIs to calculate risk weights under the standardised approach. Our client is exactly that: an independent European credit rating agency built specifically for SMEs and midcaps, authorised across all 27 EU member states. Your pitch is regulatory, financial and institutional at once — and right now, nobody else in the market is making it.
About the company Our client is an ESMA-registered European credit rating agency specialised exclusively in SMEs and midcaps (revenues from €0 to €1.5bn), with a presence in two major European financial hubs. It is backed at board level by senior figures from European systemic banking and multilateral finance,



and is on an ambitious multi-year growth path to become the reference rating agency for European midcaps.
This is a market-creating role inside a company in fast growth. There is no finished playbook. You'll build the route into European banking where one doesn't yet exist.
The mandate Lead the company's commercial development with European financial institutions, positioning midcap credit ratings as a strategic tool for regulatory capital management under CRR3/CRD VI. You'll operate at C-suite level — CFOs, capital management teams, CROs and heads of models — owning the full cycle from first conversation to signed agreement.
