Supporting every step of your private credit recruitment journey
Japan has become an important market for private credit in Asia. The country combines long-standing financial institutions with a growing set of alternative lenders. Selby Jennings operates within this setting, giving us access to talent that understands Japanese regulation, local credit behaviour, and cross-border lending. This makes Japan a practical base for firms that need people who work with accuracy and handle complex lending tasks with confidence.
Diverse pool of private credit talent
Japan attracts professionals with experience in private credit, direct lending, and debt across Asia and global markets. Many have worked on non-bank investments and regional transactions, which gives them a broader view of structured lending and risk. This range helps us introduce candidates who meet technical requirements and fit naturally with your organisation.
Specialised knowledge in private credit lending
Private credit in Japan calls for a clear understanding of small and medium businesses, direct lending structures, regulation, and risk frameworks. We work with candidates who can complete detailed assessments, structure deals that fit local market conditions, and manage portfolios with care. You gain access to people who add practical skill and informed thinking from day one.
Personalised private credit recruitment
We base each search on your hiring goals. Our work spans direct lending, mezzanine financing, distressed debt, and structured credit. We look at cultural fit, long-term value, and the operational needs of teams working in Japan. This helps you build stable teams that can grow as the market shifts.
Long-term partnerships
Our involvement continues past the hire. We offer insight on compensation trends, diversity planning, and changes in the Japanese credit market. As your organisation develops, we stay involved, helping you add capability, identify future leaders, and respond to new talent demands. This ongoing support strengthens your ability to build and maintain strong private credit teams in Japan.
