Job description

This opportunity will see the successful candidate play a crucial role throughout the entire investment process, from origination and analysis through to structuring and execution across the capital structure in both the public and private markets. The ideal candidate will therefore be able to demonstrate:

1. An in-depth knowledge and understanding of fundamental credit investing including high yield, stressed, distressed and special situations opportunities
2. The ability to communicate and coordinate with other analysts to work collaboratively as a team
3. The ability to produce investment ideas and subsequently present both internally and externally to investment committee
4. Strong track record in financial analysis skills for the structuring and execution of investments
5. Origination and sourcing of new investments through the maintenance and building of relationships in the market

Our client would therefore ideally be seeking a candidate at VP-level as a minimum with demonstrable distressed/special situations investment experience, however, they are open to those with equivalent alternative experience within buy-side credit investments, sell-side desk analysis, restructuring or private equity special situations investing.
