Private Credit Fund Controller

Private Credit Fund Controller | Global Investment Manager

Our client is a global investment manager that has been aggressively expanding its alternatives platform, with private credit at the center of that growth. Over the past several years, the firm has built a high-quality investment capability that is actively deploying capital and scaling assets across a growing suite of credit strategies.

They are now looking to bring in a senior private credit professional to play a key role in the continued build-out of the platform. This is not a task-oriented fund control role. Instead, it sits at the intersection of investments, operations, and governance — focused on ensuring private credit products are structurally sound, operationally ready, and built to scale from day one.

The remit spans the full product lifecycle. You’ll be deeply involved in new strategy and vehicle design, reviewing fund structures, governing documents, and regulatory filings, and partnering with internal teams to ensure consistency across accounting, reporting, and operational frameworks. You’ll act as a subject-matter expert for private credit, reviewing monthly NAVs and financial statements, diagnosing issues when they arise, and providing senior-level judgement on complex accounting or reporting matters.

This is a strategic, high-visibility role with direct exposure to senior leadership and fund boards, and meaningful influence over how the platform evolves.

This role is well suited for someone who enjoys operating with autonomy, engaging at a senior level, and contributing to growth and change rather than simply running BAU processes. Over time, there is scope to broaden exposure across the organization and rotate into other areas as the platform continues to expand.

• Someone with 10+ years of private credit fund accounting experience, ideally with both Big 4/Top 10 public accounting and in-house private credit exposure
• A technically strong CPA who can operate as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders
• A professional comfortable diagnosing issues, applying judgement, and seeing the bigger picture rather than executing tasks

The firm offers highly competitive compensation and a culture that supports internal mobility and long-term career development. Senior hires like this are critical to the firm’s growth in alternatives, and high performers are given visibility, trust, and room to move.

If you’re looking for a role where you can help shape a growing private credit platform — with influence across product design, governance, and reporting — this is a compelling opportunity.
