An established and highly respected asset management firm is seeking a strong junior/mid level addition to join their Sydney-based team. This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of private credit, working closely with senior leaders who bring decades of domestic and global investment experience.
You will be part of a small, high-performing group that values collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional development. The organisation is renowned for its entrepreneurial spirit, inclusive culture, and commitment to delivering high-quality investment solutions across Australia and New Zealand. As an Investment Associate/Senior Associate Private Credit, you will have the chance to do end to end transactions in securitisation, contribute to innovative investment strategies, and play a key role in shaping the future of private credit funds. With access to flexible working opportunities, generous training programmes, and a supportive leadership team, this role offers both challenge and reward for those passionate about making a meaningful impact in the financial sector.
As an Investment Associate/Senior Associate Private Credit, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the portfolio manager with deep-dive research into privately originated whole loans, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), and other securitised investments. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve conducting rigorous due diligence on non-bank lenders, analysing complex securitisation structures, preparing detailed reports for committee review, and undertaking portfolio analytics such as forecasting and stratification. You will also be tasked with updating performance data for use in client-facing materials while ensuring all compliance standards are met. Success in this position requires not only technical expertise but also strong interpersonal skills; you will work collaboratively within a small team of experienced professionals who value open communication, ethical behaviour, attention to detail, and mutual support. Your contributions will directly influence the ongoing development of innovative investment products tailored for diverse clients across Australia and New Zealand.

Your background should include hands-on exposure to securitised products such as MBS/ABS along with familiarity around whole loan investments.

Beyond technical skills you will demonstrate outstanding interpersonal qualities: you thrive when collaborating within teams; you communicate clearly both verbally and in writing; you show empathy towards colleagues; you remain resilient under pressure; you display honesty in all interactions; you maintain meticulous attention to detail even when managing competing priorities; above all else you are committed to supporting shared goals while nurturing an inclusive workplace culture. Your analytical mindset allows you to approach challenges creatively yet objectively ensuring every recommendation is grounded in sound risk assessment.
