Summary of our opportunity

Key hire within a newly established European infrastructure debt platform, being launched as part of a broader strategic expansion.

Coordinate external advisors and ensure efficient execution of transactions. Assist with in‑house industry and company investment research for the European market. Contribute to the production of investment documents.
• Portfolio management: Monitor performance of portfolio companies and identify potential credit risks early. Engage with borrowers, sponsors and co‑investors to support value preservation and optimisation. Contribute to internal reporting and portfolio reviews.
• Platform build‑out: Support the development of investment processes, tools and reporting frameworks. Contribute to establishing the investment credibility and track record of the platform.
