Product Lead - Private Credit (Direct Lending)

What you will do

Execute the Private Credit product roadmap, translating product strategy, client needs, and domain knowledge into requirements and prioritized capabilities.

What you need

5+ years of hands-on private credit experience, with meaningful exposure to the lifecycle, documentation, calculations, and workflows of private credit investments; product management experience is an advantage.
Strong depth in one or more areas of private credit, with direct lending experience particularly valuable; experience in asset-based finance, structured credit, or adjacent credit strategies is also relevant — spanning unitranche, senior or subordinated lending, delayed-draw facilities, revolvers, asset-based lending, specialty finance, CRE lending, ABS, CLOs, or loan portfolios.
Working knowledge of covenant monitoring and testing, compliance certificates, breaches, waivers, and amendments; borrowing bases, advance rates, collateral eligibility, concentration limits, and reserves; and loan lifecycle events including drawdowns, paydowns, prepayments, PIK, OID, assignments, and participations.
Familiarity with cash waterfalls, priority of payments, OC/IC tests, triggers, and portfolio or collateral surveillance.
Ability to read credit agreements and related reporting and determine what a product needs to capture, calculate, validate, and monitor.
Strong Excel and financial-modeling skills, including independent validation of covenants, borrowing bases, waterfalls, or similar calculations.
Ability to work directly with data; SQL experience is strongly preferred, with familiarity in scripting, APIs, or low-code tools an advantage.
Experience with platforms such as Wall Street Office, Allvue, Solvas, iLEVEL, or similar systems, preferred.
Experience with generative AI tools for prototyping, or a demonstrated aptitude to use them effectively.
Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, engineering, computer science, or a related field preferred; CFA, CA, MBA, FRM, or similar qualifications are an advantage.
Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to explain complex credit concepts clearly.
