About the Firm
A global institutional asset manager with a rapidly scaling US Private Credit platform backed by long-term insurance capital. The platform continues to expand across multiple private credit strategies and is actively building out a dedicated infrastructure vertical as a key growth priority.
About the Role
This is a senior execution and underwriting leadership seat serving as a key lieutenant to the sector head within the US Private Credit platform. You'll drive end-to-end transaction execution, structuring, and credit decisioning across a diversified infrastructure portfolio, operating with a high degree of autonomy. This is a critical hire in building a scaled, specialized infrastructure capability — not a support role, not origination-only, and not a junior step-up.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead underwriting, structuring, and execution of infrastructure credit investments in direct partnership with the sector head
- Take full ownership of transaction workstreams from deal evaluation through structuring, negotiation, and close
- Drive investment committee process including preparation and presentation of detailed credit memos
- Perform advanced credit underwriting including downside analysis, covenant structuring, and risk mitigation
- Lead review and negotiation of legal documentation with internal and external counsel
- Evaluate opportunities across infrastructure sectors including energy, renewables, transportation, and utilities/social infrastructure
- Oversee junior team members on live deals and portfolio monitoring
- Collaborate with global colleagues and internal stakeholders across PMs, Ratings, and Legal
- Monitor portfolio performance, amendments, and approvals
- Contribute to strategy development — identifying priority sectors, transaction types, and relative value opportunities
Qualifications
- Significant experience in infrastructure debt/private credit or project finance/infrastructure lending
- Proven ability to lead transactions end-to-end, not just support them
- Deep experience in credit underwriting, deal structuring, and legal documentation and negotiation
- Strong sector exposure across energy, renewables, and/or transportation infrastructure
- Demonstrated ability to manage deal processes and junior team members
Strongly Preferred
- Buy-side infrastructure credit or insurance asset management experience
- Track record leading complex, structured infrastructure transactions
- Experience within investment-grade or structured credit frameworks
- Senior project finance professionals at banks with clear transaction ownership will also be considered
Compensation & Benefits
Highly competitive base salary plus performance bonus aligned with Manager-level responsibility. Comprehensive benefits package. Will pay relocation package if necessary.
