  • Contribute to origination efforts by leveraging networks and market relationships.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to a high-performance investment culture.

Qualifications:

  • Strong financial modelling and analytical skills with a rigorous approach to credit risk assessment.
  • Demonstrated track record of executing private credit transactions.
  • Ability to think across the capital structure and evaluate deals from both a lender's and investor's perspective.
  • Commercial acumen, strong presentation skills, and sound judgment in high-stakes decision-making.
  • High attention to detail, proactive mindset, and ability to operate independently in a dynamic environment.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field; post-graduate qualifications (e.g., CFA, MBA) advantageous but not essential.

Skills:

  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills.
  • Proficiency in financial analysis and valuation techniques.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
