The firm operates across private equity, listed equity, real estate and credit, deploying both shareholder and third-party capital.

- Research and write investment committee papers, review legal documentation, and manage deal execution through to close
- Monitor and report on live portfolio transactions, maintaining data accuracy and flagging any developments
- Build and develop client relationships with a view to originating transactions independently over time
Requirements
- Experience in real estate debt, credit, or a related investment environment - with strong financial modelling and credit analysis skills
- A self-starter mentality - comfortable running projects independently and able to exercise sound judgement without constant direction
- A first-principles mindset with the ability to think creatively around deal structures and problem solving
- Strong communication skills with the ability to build relationships with borrowers, intermediaries and investors
