Senior Private Credit Operations

A well-established, mid-sized private credit fund is looking to hire a Senior Loan & Fund Operations professional to join its growing investment operations platform.

The role sits at the intersection of loan operations, fund operations and fund accounting, providing broad exposure across the operational lifecycle of the firm's private credit investments and funds.

The CFO is particularly interested in candidates who bring a strong loan operations background combined with exposure to fund operations or fund accounting. This could be an excellent opportunity for someone who has developed a broad understanding of private markets operations and is looking for greater responsibility and exposure within a lean, sophisticated investment platform.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the operational lifecycle of private credit investments, from transaction execution and settlement through ongoing servicing and portfolio activity.
• Coordinate loan settlements, drawdowns, repayments, interest, fees, amendments and other investment-related events.
• Manage and reconcile investment positions, cash movements and portfolio activity.
• Work closely with Fund Accounting on NAV, portfolio data, income, accruals and investment-level reconciliations.
• Support fund-level cash management, capital activity and investor-related operational processes where required.
• Liaise with administrators, loan agents, borrowers, lenders, banks and other external counterparties.
• Review loan documentation and ensure operational and accounting processes accurately reflect underlying terms.
• Investigate and resolve cash, position, transaction and accounting breaks.
• Partner closely with the Investment Team, Finance, Treasury and Fund Operations.
• Assist with reporting, controls and process improvements as the platform continues to scale.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in loan operations, with additional experience across fund operations, fund accounting or investment accounting.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

• Private credit / private debt operations
• Loan operations within an investment bank or asset manager
• Fund operations with significant exposure to loan or credit investments
• Fund accounting with a strong understanding of underlying loan portfolios
• Investment operations across alternative or private markets

You should have a good understanding of the loan lifecycle, including settlements, cash movements, interest and fee calculations, reconciliations and ongoing portfolio activity.

Exposure to fund accounting, NAV processes, investment accounting, capital activity or working with third-party administrators would be highly desirable.

The successful candidate will be technically strong, detail-oriented and comfortable operating across functions. Just as importantly, you'll be someone who is happy to be hands-on, take ownership and work closely with senior stakeholders in a lean environment.
