Private Equity Analyst; LevFin

Do you have experience in Leveraged Finance within an investment banking platform?

Are you looking to join a high-growth private credit firm where you will take on meaningful responsibility from day one?

H&P has been mandated by a fast-growing private credit platform to appoint an Analyst to its New York investment team. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-momentum credit manager operating across the capital structure with a flexible, opportunistic mandate.

The firm manages approximately $10 billion of assets and is currently raising its second flagship fund alongside launching a dedicated CLO platform. With significant dry powder and active deployment across both vehicles, the business is in a period of sustained growth driven by increasing deal flow and institutional backing.

The investment strategy spans first lien, second lien, unitranche, high yield bonds and structured credit solutions, primarily within sponsor-backed transactions. The firm operates with a lean team structure, providing junior professionals with direct exposure to senior decision-makers and live transaction execution.

The Analyst will play a central role in underwriting, modelling, transaction execution, and investment committee preparation.
