Private Credit Associate/Senior Associate

An established and expanding credit alternatives platform is seeking a Private Credit Associate or Senior Associate to join its lean, high‑performing team. The firm focuses on providing flexible capital solutions and value‑add support to family‑owned and sponsor‑backed middle‑market businesses, while delivering attractive risk‑adjusted returns to investors.

This role offers a rare opportunity to step into a seat with meaningful responsibility, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the ability to influence investment outcomes and the long‑term growth of the platform. You'll take on a broad set of responsibilities across origination, underwriting, deal execution, and portfolio support-far beyond what is typical at most private credit platforms.

Deal Execution & Underwriting

  • Conduct financial and business due diligence on prospective borrowers
  • Build and analyze detailed financial models (including LBO and cash‑flow models)
  • Prepare comprehensive investment memoranda for credit committee approval
  • Support the end‑to‑end execution of new investments, from initial diligence through closing

Origination & Market Coverage

  • Help source and identify new private credit opportunities
  • Build and maintain relationships with sponsors, intermediaries, and business owners

Legal & Structuring

  • Review and negotiate term sheets and credit agreements
  • Coordinate closely with internal and external counsel throughout the documentation process

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree with strong academic performance
  • 2-5+ years of relevant experience (investment banking or principal investing preferred)
  • Advanced financial modeling and valuation skills (LBO, operating models, cash‑flow modeling)
  • Strong analytical writing, communication, and project management abilities
  • Interest in an entrepreneurial team environment offering significant upside and visibility
