Our client is a globally active asset management firm with a strong presence across institutional and private client segments. With a clear commitment to active investment management and a broad international footprint, the company serves a diverse client base spanning individuals, families, and large-scale institutional investors. Professionals joining the organisation can expect to become part of an empowering and growth-oriented culture, where individual contributions are valued and there is genuine scope to make a broader impact — both for clients and beyond.

The role drives independent oversight of credit and investment risk across Private Debt strategies on a global scale, with core responsibilities spanning the assessment of new transactions, structural analysis and active portfolio surveillance, while supporting the wider Private Markets risk agenda. Working in close partnership with investment teams and cross-functional colleagues across Legal, Finance and related disciplines, the position covers the full deal lifecycle from initial underwriting through to ongoing asset management.

Beyond the technical mandate, the role calls for a confident and analytically rigorous presence in investment forums, bringing sound risk judgement to bear as a genuine counterpart to deal teams and navigating the inherent tension between return ambitions and risk discipline in a dynamic, international setting.
