Vice President Compliance - CLO

Title: Vice President, CLO Compliance & Portfolio Analytics

Location: New York, NY (Hybrid)

About the opportunity

Riva Recruiting is partnering with a top-tier alternative investment manager on a VP-level seat on its CLO team. The platform spans middle market and broadly syndicated CLOs and continues to grow.

This isn’t a back-office compliance seat. You’ll sit right next to the portfolio managers, owning the testing and analytics behind every trade decision, and you’ll have a real voice in how the portfolios are positioned.

What you’ll do

• Own daily portfolio compliance testing and monthly trustee test reconciliation
• Run hypothetical trade analysis for PMs before trades go through: coverage tests, collateral quality tests, and concentration limits
• Spot optimization opportunities and bring ideas to the investment team
• Run quarterly payment date waterfalls
• Act as the go-to resource for PMs and senior leadership on portfolio data and holdings questions
• Partner with operations, trustees, and custodians to keep the data clean and the testing right

What you bring

• Deep CLO experience on the manager, trustee, or administrator side, ideally across middle market and BSL; a strong background in structured credit, leveraged loans, or high yield also works
• Hands-on compliance testing and waterfall experience
• Experience with industry-standard CLO compliance and portfolio systems
• Strong Excel and modeling skills; programming (Python, VBA, SQL) is a bonus
• Someone who owns their numbers, enjoys the detail, and wants more exposure to the investment side

Why this role

• Direct exposure to PMs and senior credit leadership
• A well-resourced, established firm with a lean team where your work is visible
• Room to wear multiple hats and take on stretch projects in optimization, analytics, and process build-out
• Broad product exposure across CLO strategies
• A team with long-tenured people that invests in training and development
