- Conduct research on credit market trends, portfolio behavior, and risk measurement techniques to strengthen the team’s analytical capabilities
- Collaborate with technologists to improve data quality, automate recurring analysis, and strengthen risk infrastructure for private credit portfolios

- Ability to communicate complex findings clearly to investment professionals, risk managers, technologists, and senior stakeholders
- Demonstrated attention to detail, accountability, and ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced environment
- Ability to work full time in New York
