Equifind are supporting a global household name in private equity to hire a Fund Controller, helping them build out a growing private credit business.
Covering a variety of credit products, this role is a great opportunity. What makes it attractive is that it's a build role, not maintenance, giving you the chance to shape the finance function as the product scales, from initial ramp-up through to a fully established issuance programme.
You'd effectively be the financial owner of the manager entity, controlling the debt issuers: waterfalls, NAV and collateral reporting oversight, fee income and returns on retained notes, and building out the reporting/control framework as the platform grows.
You've got the confidence of a group with substantial capital behind it and a strong track record, coupled with the opportunity to work in a newer part of the business, where you'll have genuine influence and say in how the fund is run, put your own stamp on things, and truly spread your wings in a broad remit.
