Trusted by institutions, governments, foundations, and individuals, Macquarie Asset Management manages approximately $A941.01 billion in assets, offering a diverse range of investment solutions including real assets, real estate, credit, and equities & multi-asset. With a strong emphasis on private markets and alternatives, Macquarie Asset Management is at the forefront of delivering innovative and scalable solutions for institutional and wealth clients. Our platform is experiencing strong momentum, driven by our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to transform how private markets are managed, scaled, and serviced.

Within Macquarie Asset Management, our Private Credit business serves as a cornerstone of our capabilities. We deliver tailored financing solutions to businesses across a wide range of industries by bridging the gap between traditional lending and the unique needs of our clients. Through flexible and innovative credit structures, we drive growth, enable acquisitions, and support strategic initiatives.

At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You'll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

What role will you play?

As the Private Credit Technology Lead, you will inspire and develop a high-performing engineering team, leveraging cutting-edge technology to transform how private credit operates.

You will lead the design and implementation of an innovative platform that seamlessly integrates bespoke and vendor solutions, setting new benchmarks for operational excellence and client-centricity.

By harnessing advanced technologies such as AI and agentic workflows, you will drive smarter decision-making and position our private credit business as an industry leader.

This is your opportunity to play a strategic role in driving the growth and scalability of our private credit business while creating synergies across other strategies, such as Leveraged Credit and Real Assets. Your leadership will directly contribute to redefining how private credit operates, delivering lasting value for clients and stakeholders alike.

What you offer

• Proven experience as a technology leader in the alternative asset management industry, including a track record of building and leading high-performing technical teams while fostering collaboration and championing Agile methodologies.
• Demonstrated expertise in credit workflows and digital transformation, including deal pipelines, investment processes, trade allocations, risk/portfolio construction, and post-trade processing (e.g., lifecycle management, valuation, portfolio and fund accounting, and administrative oversight).
• Strong technical skills, with hands-on experience in Python or a similar object-oriented programming language, SQL, and data engineering.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between business and technology teams and align technology initiatives with strategic priorities.
• A passion for driving innovation through AI, advanced analytics, and cutting-edge technologies to enhance workflows and deliver measurable business value.
• A forward-looking mindset, staying informed on the latest trends in private markets, alternatives, and asset management to ensure solutions remain competitive and innovative.
