Senior Credit Originator — Corporate Credit & Securitized Products

Leon Capital Group (LCG) is a Dallas-based, founder-led private investment firm with over $10 billion in assets under management across real estate, financial services, healthcare, and technology. Founded in 2006 by Fernando De Leon, LCG is not a private equity fund. The firm conceives, builds, owns, and operates companies with a long‑term ownership mindset, investing its own capital with the discipline of an institution and the conviction of a founder.

LCG's Direct Investments platform operates across corporate private credit, healthcare credit, and securitized product strategies. Led by experienced investment professionals with deep market relationships, the platform originates, structures, and manages differentiated credit investments across the capital stack with a focus on risk‑adjusted returns and capital preservation.

Leon Capital Group is seeking a Senior Credit Originator — Corporate Credit & Securitized Products to join its Direct Investments platform. This is a senior origination role for a proven credit professional with an established network, a verifiable track record of independently sourced and closed transactions, and deep expertise in corporate direct lending, securitized products, or both.

The successful candidate will originate across corporate credit and structured finance strategies, including direct lending to sponsor‑backed and non‑sponsored companies, asset‑backed finance, and securitized credit investments. This person will bring existing market relationships across leveraged finance, structured credit, and capital markets and the ability to generate proprietary deal flow from day one.

This is not a training or ramp‑up role. The expectation is immediate contribution and consistent production.
