Role Summary
The Sr. Analyst, Investment Liaison, Fixed Income/Private Credit will support the full transaction lifecycle for private credit investments, serving as a central coordination point before, during, and after deal execution between investment teams, trading, legal, compliance, operations, valuation, accounting, audit, external agents, administrators, trustees, borrowers, sponsors, and portfolio companies.
This role is responsible for coordinating operational and information readiness ahead of execution; supporting deal closing, funding, allocation, and settlement; and managing transactions through their post-close lifecycle. The Investment Liaison will also play a key role in complex debt reorganizations, restructurings, exchanges, amendments, liability management transactions, workouts, and other events requiring close coordination across investment, legal, trading, operations, accounting, valuation, and external counterparties.
The successful candidate will bring strong investment judgment, attention to detail, resourcefulness, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. This individual will help ensure transaction readiness, execution support, operational control, and data integrity across a growing private credit platform while building effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

- Partner with portfolio managers, analysts, traders, legal counsel, operations, accounting, valuation, custodians, agents, and other stakeholders to translate transaction terms and legal documentation into actionable elections, settlement instructions, cash and position movements, system updates, and control requirements.
- Track critical dates, elections, conditions, allocations, consideration, new or replacement instruments, fees, accrued interest, cash flows, and other transaction economics to support accurate and timely execution and downstream processing.
- Research and resolve complex position, cash, income, reference data, pricing, valuation, accounting, and reconciliation issues arising from reorganizations or other non-standard transaction events.
Data Quality, Controls, and Process Improvement:
- Maintain deal trackers, workflow queues, document repositories, control logs, and related reporting tools to support transparency across the private credit operating model.

- Communicate clearly and professionally with internal and external stakeholders, translating complex investment terms, legal documentation, restructuring mechanics, and transaction details into actionable execution and operational requirements.
