• Beyond execution, you will own the desk's loan portfolio management infrastructure, serving as point person for the systems, models, and reporting used to monitor and manage the existing book, and acting as a key internal touchpoint for risk, legal, finance, and other stakeholders seeking to understand individual transactions or the portfolio as a whole
• The role is heavily PowerPoint- and Excel-based, with a growing mandate to build and deploy AI tooling that makes the desk's underwriting and monitoring processes faster and sharper. We are looking for someone with strong credit and analytical instincts, exceptional attention to detail, the organizational discipline to be trusted with a portfolio, and the communication skills to be the person everyone — internally and externally — comes to for answers. 
• Prior experience in fund finance, structured credit, leveraged finance, private capital, or a related underwriting-intensive role is preferred; genuine curiosity about how technology can reshape a financing business is a real differentiator.
