OUR IMPACT

Goldman Sachs Asset Management is one of the world’s leading asset managers with over $3 trillion in assets under supervision. As the primary investment area within Goldman Sachs, we provide investment and advisory services for pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, financial advisors, and individuals.

GSAM invests both the firm's own capital and capital raised from outside investors in corporate equity and debt, real estate equity and debt, asset-based equity and debt, growth equity and infrastructure assets world-wide. Our business operates on a global platform, and we are one of the largest managers of private capital globally.

GSAM Private Credit is one of the world’s largest alternative credit investing platforms with approximately $110bn of AUM and investment professionals based in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia. GSAM Private Credit is a dynamic platform with significant cross-pollination across strategies – Direct Lending (middle market and large cap performing credit), Hybrid Capital, Asset Finance and IG Corporate and Infrastructure Credit.

YOUR IMPACT

Asset Finance (“AF”) is a growth area within Private Credit, focusing on financings backed by physical and/or financial collateral. AF provides flexible funding solutions across the capital structure, engaging in a broad range of asset-based strategies that include trade receivables, RE financings/ specialty mortgages, consumer and SME loans, fund financing, hard asset financings and more. The Global Trade Receivables (“GTR”) team is a key vertical within the Asset Finance platform focussing on the origination and structuring of working capital finance investments which are offered to Clients both as a standalone investment strategy or as an allocation within the broader Asset Finance strategy.

This is an opportunity to play an important role in the development and growth of our global asset finance platform with a specific focus on working capital finance, and to get exposure to a global team and its full spectrum of activities, which are varied and challenging. Those encompass transaction origination, underwriting, structuring, risk management and execution.

Client focus and creativity are the cornerstones of our business. We strive towards an entrepreneurial, flexible, and open culture, where we work collaboratively with teams across GSAM on initiatives that further improve overall performance and enable us to anticipate our clients’ evolving needs.

The investment ambitions of our clients may be simply risk or return focused, but often also are informed by ALM, accounting, or regulatory capital considerations. We work closely to identify and align with these, and make use of structured finance techniques to help them to efficiently express their positioning via tailored investment solutions. As such, our asset focus is broad and can vary widely both in terms of investment risk (underlying exposures and objectives) and delivery (broad range of fund/ managed account products)

Responsibilities

• Participating in structuring, negotiating and documenting investments – supporting senior members of the investments team
• Engaging in all aspects of due diligence and business analysis
• Project management of transaction operations including coordinating with multiple departments within the organization: Specifically, Risk, Legal, Compliance, and Operations
• Communicating and defending investment theses to internal stakeholders and committees, including relevant GSAM Investment Committees
• Actively monitoring existing investments in the portfolio
• Contributing to ensuring reporting excellence towards our clients
• Contributing to platform expansion and potentially the introduction of new investment strategies

Qualifications

• 2+ years of work experience in structured finance or corporate finance at a bank, rating agency, or asset manager
• Understanding of both structured finance techniques and corporate credit analysis
• Strong quantitative, financial modelling, analytical and problem-solving skills
• Passion for investing with specific interest in credit / other structured products
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and excellent follow-through
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Flexible and creative mindset; ability to analyse a variety of industries and businesses
• Ability to self-direct, analyse and evaluate and form independent judgments
• Strong interpersonal skills: Ability to build trust and confidence of colleagues, strengthen relationships through ongoing dialog and interactions, and collaborate well with others
• Strong skills in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint and Word)
• Fluent in English. Fluency in other languages is considered a positive
