Private Credit Associate

Campion Pickworth is partnering with a specialist private credit investment firm to appoint a Credit Associate. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the sourcing, underwriting and completion of structured credit transactions within a dynamic, entrepreneurial setting.

This opportunity is well suited to a highly analytical credit professional with experience across private credit, structured finance, asset-backed lending or loan portfolio analytics. You will bring a strong quantitative background and advanced Excel modelling expertise, with a track record of constructing models from first principles rather than adapting pre-built templates.

• Analyse borrower financial accounts alongside large, and often imperfect, loan‑level datasets
• Develop comprehensive Excel models from the ground up to evaluate credit risk
• Model cashflow outcomes, covenant headroom and downside case scenarios
• Evaluate probability of default using both quantitative analysis and qualitative judgement
• Assist with transaction execution and ongoing portfolio surveillance
• Work closely with origination channels to review and screen new opportunities

• 3–6 years’ experience within private credit, structured finance, specialty lending, asset‑backed lending, or loan portfolio analytics
• Advanced Excel modelling capability (confident building sophisticated models from a blank workbook)
• Experience handling and analysing large loan‑level datasets
• Strong knowledge of credit risk, structured products and portfolio analytics
• Background in developing downside and stress‑testing scenarios
• Commercial awareness combined with strong technical proficiency
• Intellectually curious with the ability to operate effectively using incomplete or imperfect data
