Senior Associate, Private Credit
An established and expanding credit alternatives platform with ~$6B+ AUM is seeking a Private Credit Senior Associate to join its lean, high‑performing investment team.
The firm provides flexible, bespoke capital solutions and value‑add support to family‑owned and sponsor‑backed middle‑market businesses, with a strong focus on disciplined underwriting and attractive risk‑adjusted returns.
This role offers a rare opportunity to step into a seat with significant ownership, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the ability to meaningfully influence investment outcomes and platform growth. The Senior Associate will play a key role across origination, underwriting, execution, and portfolio support, operating as a core member of the investment team rather than in a siloed support role.
Responsibilities:
- Lead underwriting and execution of new private credit investments
- Build and review detailed LBO and cash‑flow models; oversee diligence processes
- Prepare and present investment memoranda to credit committee
- Drive deal execution from initial screening through closing
- Actively source opportunities and maintain relationships with sponsors, intermediaries, and business owners
- Review and help negotiate term sheets and credit documentation alongside internal and external counsel
- Support portfolio management and mentor junior team members as needed
Qualifications:
- 4-6+ years of relevant experience (investment banking, private credit, or principal investing)
- Strong command of financial modeling, structuring, and credit analysis
- High‑quality investment writing and communication skills
- Ability to operate independently in a lean, entrepreneurial environment with high visibility and upside
This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking true responsibility, decision‑making exposure, and a long‑term seat at the table within a scaled yet nimble private credit platform.
