The Opportunity
An established and well-capitalised private credit platform is looking to hire an experienced Loan Closer into its London team, in a role that sits right at the heart of transaction execution
This is a genuinely front-to-back position, offering ownership of the full closing lifecycle across a broad range of private debt investments – including direct lending, syndicated loans and more structured credit opportunities.
