• Collaborate closely with internal corporate finance and portfolio operations teams to optimize recovery and value creation
• Contribute to the continuous evolution of Echo Base Finance's investment playbook and credit risk framework

What We're Looking For

• 7-10+ years of experience in private debt, special situations, or distressed credit investing (buy-side preferred)
• Direct experience executing middle-market credit transactions, including workouts and restructurings
• Demonstrated ability to operate as an individual contributor and manage all stages of the deal lifecycle
• Strong credit underwriting and financial modeling capabilities, with a deep understanding of technology and digital asset businesses
• High degree of intellectual curiosity, commercial judgment, and ability to navigate emerging markets and counterparties
• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or CFA preferred

What We Offer

• Entrepreneurial, high-performance environment with institutional standards
• Exposure to complex, frontier credit investments across global markets
• Opportunity to help shape the playbook for crypto-native special situations investing
