Head of Market Structure & Platform Development

Position Overview Apollo Capital Solutions (ACS) is building the foundational infrastructure for the private credit market. Public and private markets are converging and private credit is scaling rapidly, yet the data, settlement and workflow infrastructure underpinning the asset classes remain manual and fragmented. Apollo, through Alternative Asset Trading (AAT), has already facilitated more than $30 billion in secondary private credit volume and is advancing data, index, pricing and settlement workstreams to close that gap. The firms that help define this infrastructure will lead the market. We are seeking a senior leader, based in Austin, TX, to own the next phase of this buildout: a market structure and platform role covering the institutional trading infrastructure around both traditional and digitally native private assets, spanning liquidity access, execution, custody, collateral, counterparty risk and settlement. Working across business leadership, product, engineering and operations, the individual will commercialize the platform across the private credit ecosystem and assess developments in tokenization and prime‑brokerage models. This is a business‑building role, reporting to senior ACS leadership.
