This role offers the opportunity to work across the full credit spectrum — from senior secured loans to high‑yield bonds and private credit — while taking ownership of deep sector coverage, investment analysis, and participation in complex credit situations. If you enjoy fundamental credit work, thrive in a fast‑paced investment environment, and want to help shape portfolio decisions, we’d love to hear from you.

• Investment Analysis & Credit Underwriting: Review and prepare credit theses for new senior secured loans, high yield bonds (fixed & floating), and middle‑market private investments. Produce detailed underwriting memos, covering company/industry analysis, capital structure, cash‑flow projections, collateral assessment, sponsor quality, and restructuring considerations. Present comprehensive investment memos to the Investment Committee with clear theses and risk mitigants.
• Sector Coverage & Monitoring: Build in‑depth knowledge across 2–3 industries and maintain coverage of 25–30 issuers. Conduct ongoing monitoring, including financial analysis, cash‑flow modelling, industry deep‑dives, rating reviews, and performance assessments. Actively generate new investment ideas within your coverage universe.
• Distressed & Secondary Opportunities: Identify secondary market opportunities. Support the team lead in workout and distressed situations.
• Market Interaction & Due Diligence: Build a strong network across the market to understand sentiment on amendments and new deals. Engage with syndicate desks, sell‑side analysts, and private equity sponsors on both primary and secondary opportunities. Participate in management meetings, site visits, plant tours, and expert calls.
• Risk Management & Administration: Maintain electronic credit files, compliance reporting, collateral records, and exposure tracking.

• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word.
• Bachelor’s degree required; CFA preferred.
• Additional European language(s) are a plus.
• Logical thinker with the ability to “join the dots.”
