Investment Associate

Investment Associate

Location: Hybrid in Boca Raton & Fort Lauderdale

Compensation: Base salary targeted around $150–175 k, commensurate with experience.

Our client is a privately backed specialty-finance investor that provides creative capital solutions across receivable-backed and other asset-based opportunities. Reporting directly to senior investment leaders, the Investment Associate will own critical workflows—underwriting, memo creation, and deal execution—so the firm can deploy capital faster and smarter. If you thrive in entrepreneurial environments where your analysis moves transactions across the finish line, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Turn data into decisions – build concise credit memos that clearly outline structure, risks, mitigants, and projected returns for committee approval.
• Shape deal structures – model repayment mechanics, interest schemes, and collateral packages, iterating with internal stakeholders to reach win-win terms.
• Run point on execution – draft term sheets, coordinate closing checklists, and keep multiple live deals moving in parallel without dropping details.
• Dig into the numbers – perform borrower-level and pool-level analysis, build/validate cash-flow and static-pool models, and press-test assumptions with real-time data.
• Grow your toolkit – over time, support securitizations, evaluate new verticals, and help source fresh opportunities as the platform expands.

The Right Fit

• 2-6 years in buy-side credit, specialty finance, private credit, or ABL lending.
• Advanced financial modeling and underwriting skills; can translate complexity into crisp recommendations.
• Clear, persuasive writer—your memos become the roadmap for investment decisions.
• Bonus points for experience with structured products, receivables analysis, or loan documentation.

How We’ll Measure Success

• You own the memo process end-to-end, removing bottlenecks for senior leadership.
• Your structuring ideas improve risk-adjusted returns and speed to close.
• You manage competing deadlines with minimal oversight and maximum accuracy.

Why Join

You’ll sit at the center of high-impact transactions, gain direct exposure to decision-makers, and see the tangible results of your analysis in dollars deployed. If you are hungry to accelerate your credit-investing career inside a nimble, growth-oriented shop—let’s talk.
