About the Position

PRIMARY JOB FUNCTIONS

• Asset Servicing & Booking – Book and maintain investments across loan, equity, and structured products in firm systems (e.g., Wall Street Office, Geneva); maintain security master records and ensure accurate reflection of commitments, fundings, and amendment history.
• Transaction Document Review – Review credit agreements, loan documents, side letters, amendments, and settlement statements to translate economic terms (interest, fees, waterfalls, PIK/cash-pay mechanics, prepayment provisions) into accurate booking conventions.
• Cash Flow & Waterfall Processing – Process interest, principal, fees, and bespoke waterfall distributions across straightforward and complex deal structures, partnering with internal teams and external servicers as needed.
• Cash & Position Reconciliations – Perform daily cash and position reconciliations across funds, SPVs, and counterparties; investigate and resolve breaks against custodian, agent, and servicer records.
• Wire & Funding Operations – Process draw requests, fundings, paydowns, and distributions; confirm conditions precedent are met and approve wires in line with internal controls.
• Counterparty & Internal Liaison – Interact daily with custodian banks, trustees, agents, and third-party loan servicers; partner across Asset Management, Accounting, Valuation, Treasury, Legal, and Tax to support the broader Credit Funds business.
• Fund Operations Support – Track investor capital, service fund subscription lines, and allocate and pay investment-related expenses across funds and co-invest vehicles.
• Reporting & Portfolio Support – Support recurring portfolio reporting (book values, commitments, distributions, performance metrics), ad-hoc analyses, and management requests.
• Compliance Monitoring – Help monitor closed transactions for compliance with affirmative, negative, financial, and reporting covenants set out in the definitive documents.
• Cross-Desk Flexibility – Be willing and able to rotate or be deployed across asset classes and desks — including legal assets, real estate credit, direct lending, structured credit, and specialty finance — as business needs evolve.

SECONDARY JOB FUNCTIONS

• Participate in process improvement, automation, and reporting projects across the Credit Funds platform.

AI & AUTOMATION RESPONSIBILITIES

• Demonstrate working proficiency with AI and generative AI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) to enhance workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and improve output quality and turnaround times.
• Maintain a continuous learning mindset around evolving AI capabilities, proactively seeking opportunities to upskill and apply new tools relevant to operational responsibilities.
• Collaborate effectively in human AI environments, understanding when to delegate tasks to AI tools versus applying independent professional judgment, particularly in high stakes or client facing scenarios.
• Utilize AI powered workflow automation to streamline trade settlement, loan administration, covenant monitoring, and counterparty data management, reducing operational risk and processing time.
• Leverage AI driven anomaly detection to identify exceptions, breaks, or data quality issues in operational processes, escalating findings for timely resolution.

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university/college.
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office, with advanced Excel skills (complex models, reconciliations, cash flow analyses).
• Familiarity with loan operations systems such as Wall Street Office (WSO) or Geneva is a plus.
• Ability to read and operationalize credit agreements and other transaction documents.
• Strong reconciliation discipline and attention to detail; audit-ready documentation habits.
• Comfort with ambiguity, bespoke deal structures, and problem-solving in lieu of straight-through processing.
• Dynamic, flexible mindset with a genuine willingness to work across asset classes and desks as needed.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to liaise professionally with both internal stakeholders and external counterparties.
• Team-oriented and collaborative; able to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple deliverables simultaneously.
