This is a retained search assignment for one of the world's leading credit funds. The role reports into the MD and is responsible for all fund finance and operations globally.
The firm has an AUM of circa $50BN and has built a diverse platform which creates significant synergies across its three investment strategies: Performing Credit, Credit Opportunities & Special Situations and Private Debt. This role oversees all of them with a team of 12 already in place, in London.
In terms of the role, it is a global high profile position covering both US and Europe encompassing a range of responsibilities all of which are expected to be carried out with a commercial perspective in mind. Financial reporting (across Lux, US and UK), Treasury, Valuations, Structuring, Deal Support, Operations, IT and process improvement/implementation, and TPA management (to some extent) all fall under this role. It is a rare opportunity to join at the top of one of the leading asset managers.
We are looking for candidates with a background within either the asset management or credit space; this can be either from either the buy or sell side. For example, candidates from a private equity or private debt background will be considered along with those focussed in liquid and/or illiquid products from a bank. What is essential, is ambition, experience and gravitas; we're pitching the position for those above 10 years PQE but every application will be considered in its own right.
If this is of interest and you would like a confidential discussion then please do not hesitate to get in touch by applying. The official job spec can then be supplied.
