The role

- Analyse asset coverage and borrowing base structures where relevant.
- Prepare Investment Committee memoranda and present recommendations.
- Support structuring, term sheet negotiation and documentation alongside counsel, through to close.
- Monitor portfolio positions post-close: covenant compliance, borrower performance, amendments and workout situations where they arise.
- Contribute to origination, screening inbound opportunities and maintaining relationships across the firm’s referral network.
What we’re looking for
- 2–4 years in private credit, Consulting, restructuring, debt advisory or investment banking
- Strong credit judgement and modelling, with the ability to build from a blank page.
- Comfortable with complex situations where the information is incomplete and the answer isn’t in a comparable transaction.
- Directly commercial: you will spend time in front of management teams, not only advisors.
- Clear writing, since credit memoranda are a primary output.
Nice to have
- Asset-based lending or specialty finance.
- Middle market lending.
- Distressed, workout or restructuring experience. xhqgsiq
