Job Title: Senior Associate

Responsibilities:

Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s Asset Management group mobilizes resources to preserve investor capital and enhance investment returns in challenged situations. Once assets that are or could be challenged are identified, the Asset Management group proactively engages with owners, management, and other stakeholders to preserve value.

The Senior Associate will work to address distressed positions within the portfolio, restructuring if necessary, and support the maximization of returns post-restructuring by adding value to the management teams as further described below. The team employs a private equity mindset when managing assets by taking an active role in turnarounds, value-creation strategies, and exit planning.

The main areas of responsibility will include assisting senior team members with:

• Preparing investment memoranda, analyses (with significant emphasis on identifying root causes of underperformance), financial forecasts, and other ad-hoc requests to support real-time decision making related to existing investments
• Restructuring of capital structures by evaluating financial models, identifying optimal financing solutions, and supporting negotiations to enhance liquidity, reduce debt burdens, and secure long-term financial stability for an organization
• Providing comprehensive support to management and the board of directors by preparing detailed analyses, strategic recommendations, and facilitating effective decision-making to drive business performance and achieve corporate objectives. This could include participating in due diligence processes for potential add-on acquisitions & divestitures as part of broader restructuring efforts
• If required, coordinating the selection and engagement of third-party consultants and service providers for value creation initiatives
• Developing and maintaining a comprehensive understanding of industry trends, competitive landscapes, and regulatory environments to inform strategic decision-making for control / significant minority equity positions
• Driving and reporting on the progress of turnaround initiatives, providing regular updates to BXCI senior management on key financial metrics, operational milestones, and risk factors
  
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, business administration, economics, or a related field; advanced degrees (e.g., MBA) or professional certifications (e.g., CFA, CPA) are a plus, but not required
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in investment banking, restructuring advisory, private equity/private credit, management consulting, or a related field, with a focus on distressed assets or turnaround situations
• Demonstrated proficiency in financial modeling, valuation techniques, and scenario analysis, with a strong ability to assess complex financial structures and understand the implications of various restructuring alternatives
• Exceptional analytical and quantitative skills, with the ability to synthesize large amounts of data into actionable insights and coherent strategies
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of effectively presenting analysis and recommendations to management teams, boards of directors, and external stakeholders
• Proven track record of working collaboratively in a team environment, managing multiple projects simultaneously, and meeting tight deadlines under pressure
• Strong EQ, with an ability to navigate between internal demands and building strong working relationships with management teams
• High level of initiative and motivation, with a keen interest in the dynamics of companies and a passion for developing creative solutions to complex problems
