In this role, you will:

• Gain exposure to a wide variety of specialty finance asset classes/alternative investments and contribute to the ongoing management of these investments.
• Participate in and grow into leading all aspects of the investment process, including idea generation, origination, evaluation, underwriting, negotiating, closing, and exiting
• Conduct fundamental analysis of private credit, private equity, structured credit, real estate, and other investment opportunities across a wide range of industries and situations
• Monitor and manage portfolio investments
• Work in small deal teams directly with senior management, with an ability to have an outsized impact on the success of each investment and the firm overall

Desired Skills and Experience

• Demonstrated track record of excellence in academic, professional, and personal endeavors
• Relevant prior experience in private equity, investment banking, credit, management consulting, science, engineering, or other highly analytical and demanding roles
