  • Prepare rating memos and new issuance reports, and make recommendations to the rating committees.
  • Lead ongoing monitoring and surveillance process and keep abreast of developments on the outstanding issuances and ratings.
  • Develop and maintain complex spreadsheets and databases.
  • Collaborate with KBRA experts in other sectors such as project finance, corporate finance, financial institutions, and structured finance to develop approaches to evaluating complex multi-assets strategies.
  • Supervise and mentor junior team members to leverage their contributions while supporting their development of analytical and professional skills.
  • Lead or assist with the development of analytical tools to standardize rating approaches and streamline new issuance and surveillance processes.
  • Represent KBRA at industry conferences, panels, and investor meetings, engaging with market participants to share insights on fund ratings and credit trends.
  • Assist with in-depth credit research and publications on new development, trends, or topical subjects related to funds.

You will be successful in this role if you have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, or Math related fields or any subject that results in strong analytical skills.
  • Eight (8) or more years of work experience in fund finance, investing, or structured finance.
  • Experience with investment strategies in private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and asset-based lending facilities.
  • Understanding of subscription lines, NAV financing, hybrid facilities, rated feeders, or other fund finance products.
  • Experience reviewing legal documents and strong understanding of liability structures, LTV/advance rates, payment priorities, and structural protections.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel is required to build and analyze financial models to assess asset cash flow projections and debt repayment under stress scenarios.
  • Ability to assess creditworthiness of funds, assets, and counterparties; understanding how this applies to rating methodologies is a plus.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills to prepare clear, concise, and well-reasoned credit memos and reports and present them to committees efficiently.
  • Strong interpersonal skills to work as an integral part of a highly collaborative team and across disciplines in a challenging and dynamic environment and effectively manage internal and external relationships.
  • CFA or interest in obtaining CFA is a plus.
