A highly regarded European private credit and special situations investment platform is seeking to hire a Director into its London-based Asset Management team.

About the Role
This is a senior, hands-on role focused on managing stressed, transitional, and complex investments post-close.

The successful candidate will take ownership of complex credit situations including restructurings, amendments, covenant negotiations, enforcement scenarios, business plan oversight, and recovery strategies.
