Job Summary

Run point on portfolio monitoring, surfacing material developments, covenant triggers, and risk threshold breaches for escalation to the Head of Portfolio Management and Deal Team. Own the Firmwide credit watch list, keeping it current as positions evolve, and aggregate borrower data by fund to consolidate positions, financials, and exposures into a single, fund-level view. Build and maintain performance models at both the borrower and fund level, translating raw data into return, yield, and attribution analytics that inform investment decisions. Stand up the data layer, ensuring data integrity across all fund-level and firm-level holdings while driving automation initiatives to replace manual work. Build and run the daily, weekly, and monthly reporting cadence that keeps the firm on top of fund holdings, KPIs, performance, and attribution. Assist in building the firm's real-time dashboards, then own their accuracy and timeliness for stakeholder consumption. Assist in coordinating quarterly portfolio reviews, including compiling company-level performance packages and supporting documentation. Liaise with the third-party valuation firm to provide required data inputs and track deliverable timelines. Update valuation models and attribution analyses following quarterly review completion. Safeguard investment guideline compliance and allocation targets, escalating deviations in real time.
