Job description

Investment Analyst/Associate - Global Private Credit (Sydney)

Our client is a leading global private credit fund, backed by some of the largest global pools of institutional capital. The team writes financing solutions for middle-market and large-cap sponsors and corporates across leveraged buyouts, growth, refinancings and recapitalisations, investing sector-agnostically. Deals are typically $200mio+ though the team retains the flexibility to pursue smaller high-conviction opportunities.

The Business

Our client is a leading global private credit fund, backed by some of the largest global pools of institutional capital. The team writes financing solutions for middle-market and large-cap sponsors and corporates across leveraged buyouts, growth, refinancings and recapitalisations, investing sector-agnostically. Deals are typically $200mio+ though the team retains the flexibility to pursue smaller high-conviction opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Conducting detailed business due diligence and evaluating opportunities to form a recommendation to senior members of the team
• Building financial models and undertaking detailed valuation analysis for new and existing investments
• Negotiating documentation with counterparties
• Preparing and presenting materials to the investment committee
• Engaging directly with management teams and key stakeholders
• Monitoring the portfolio and broader sector trends

The Ideal Candidate

• 1-5 years' experience in direct investment (private credit, private equity or infrastructure) or in leveraged finance, M&A or direct investments at a top-tier investment bank
• Excellent modelling and quantitative ability
• Strong written and verbal communication, comfortable forming and presenting a view
• Genuinely passionate about investing and eager to learn
• Able to run multiple live processes at once, proactive with sound judgement
• A team player with a strong work ethic

Why Apply?

• High-quality, selective investing: no pressure to deploy capital, so the focus stays on the right deal, structure and return
• Genuine access to decision-makers: direct exposure to senior local and global stakeholders, with investment views discussed early
• Broad, meaningful deal work: sector-agnostic corporate and sponsor-backed lending, typically $200mio+ with flexibility for smaller opportunities
• More deal-focused than private equity: limited operational portfolio burden, centred on underwriting a small number of high-conviction investments each year
• Efficient, pragmatic culture: effort is matched to deal probability, not exhaustive materials for unlikely opportunities
• A collaborative environment where junior views are welcomed and constructively debated, with clear senior accountability for final decisions
• Strong market positioning: speed and execution certainty
