Our client, a private investment fund focused on turnarounds of industrial companies experiencing operational stress, would like to add a senior private debt professional, with extensive origination, analytical and execution experience. The fund invests in companies facing stress to their capital structure from operational or other challenges. Our client identifies potential investments offering superior returns using a “loan to own” strategy and/or restructuring to de-lever the balance sheet, enabling an operational turnaround. The team may partner with existing private credit providers (i.e., joint ventures or co-lending arrangements) or purchase an existing credit position outright.
The fund looks to create a winning outcome for all parties involved.
The Principal will call on and build relationships with direct lenders and other private debt providers. The role requires an individual who takes a team-approach internally and can build trust with credit providers to create a source of problem loans for partnership or purchase. The Principal may also help with acquiring loans in the public markets. The role requires an individual who is adept at relationship building and demonstrates investment depth. The Principal will originate and drive the execution process in collaboration with other members of the investment team.
The Principal should be able to analyze public and private credit financials and agreements and navigate the restructuring process in “loan to own” situations, including troubled credits. The individual must demonstrate success in relationship management and a background in deal sourcing. This is a partner-track role, but it is not a partner-level role. Short term success will be defined by the ability to manage and expand existing fund relationships and ultimately convert the relationships into successful investments. Salary: $300-400,000+ bonus/equity. Qualified candidates may forward a resume to our website for consideration. All inquiries will be treated confidentially.
