͏

The firm is an alternative asset manager focused on private credit, including direct lending, broadly syndicated and middle-market term loans, private placements, structured credit, opportunistic and special situations exposures. These investments are held across drawdown funds, evergreen vehicles, separately managed accounts, CLOs and rated feeder structures.

In this environment, data is core infrastructure. Every valuation, capital call, credit facility borrowing base, investor report, rating agency submission and regulatory filing depends on accurate security, fund, counterparty and pricing records.

This role sits at the front line of that infrastructure. The Data Operations Analyst / Senior Analyst will own golden-source master data domains — including Security Master, Fund Master, Counterparty Master and Pricing Master — and operate them in close partnership with New York investment, trading and operations teams. The role requires managing a live operational function that opens the book each morning, absorbs intraday activity, resolves exceptions and closes the day cleanly before New York end-of-day.
