About the Role

The Company is in search of a Managing Director for Private Credit with a focus on East Coast coverage. The successful candidate will be a full-cycle investor with a strong background in the lower middle market, particularly in the Southeast region. This role is pivotal in leading the origination, execution, and portfolio management of 7-8 high-quality sponsor-backed deals. The ideal candidate will have over 10 years' experience in private credit, mezzanine, or SBIC-backed investing, and must be adept at both deal origination and underwriting. Key responsibilities include building and maintaining a regional portfolio, sitting on portfolio company boards, and driving value creation strategies. The role demands an individual with a strong operational and board-level experience, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a desire to build and grow a regional franchise.

The role at the company is well-suited for a candidate with a transparent compensation structure and a collaborative, high-performance culture. The Managing Director will have the opportunity to shape and grow a regional or national portfolio, and will be expected to represent the firm externally, contributing to brand-building in the market. The company values a candidate who is based in the Southeast or is open to relocating, and who is ready to take on the challenge of full P&L ownership. This is a unique opportunity to work with a nimble, entrepreneurial direct lending shop that operates with a strong focus on providing flexible capital solutions to founder-led and sponsor-backed businesses.
