Job description

A well established lower middle market investment firm is looking to add a Private Credit Associate or Senior Associate to its team in Raleigh. This is a rare opportunity to join a highly active investment platform that focuses on flexible capital solutions across sponsor backed and non sponsor backed transactions, including unitranche, subordinated debt, and structured credit investments.

The role sits in a small, high calibre team where you are truly in the deal flow from day one. You will be working directly with senior investors across origination, underwriting, structuring, and execution, with real responsibility on live transactions rather than sitting on the sidelines.

What makes this opportunity particularly compelling is the breadth of exposure. You will see a wide variety of industries, capital structures, and deal types, often working on transactions that require creative thinking and fast decision making. It is the kind of platform where you learn quickly because you are constantly in the middle of the action.

The firm has built a strong reputation in the lower middle market and continues to be highly active, offering consistent deal flow and meaningful exposure to both sponsor and founder led situations. The environment is entrepreneurial, fast paced, and highly collaborative, with direct access to senior leadership and a clear path to growing your seat over time.
