Private credit has done more to change the shape of a debt finance associate's docket in three years than syndicated lending did in twenty — the associates who've worked both sides of a direct-lending deal are the ones every group in New York is trying to hire. An elite international firm is hiring a debt finance associate (3–9 years) in New York. Cravath scale — $260K–$435K depending on class year. You'd join a global finance practice acting for sponsors, direct lenders, banks, funds, and corporates on acquisition financings, refinancings, and liability management, with real deal ownership at your level and a bench that runs both borrower- and lender-side mandates rather than one or the other.
The work includes:
  • Leveraged finance and acquisition financings for private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies
  • Private credit and direct lending, including unitranche and holdco structures
  • Fund finance — subscription lines and NAV facilities — plus infrastructure and hybrid capital financings
  • Syndicated credit facilities, cross-border lending, and liability management transactions
What you bring:
  • 3–9 years of debt finance, leveraged finance, or private credit experience at a peer firm
  • Sponsor-side reps drafting and negotiating credit agreements and intercreditor arrangements
  • Strong academics and a real interest in the finance practice
  • New York bar admission or the ability to waive inWhat you get:
  • A finance practice with genuine cross-border deal flow and a private credit book that keeps growing through the cycle
  • Sponsor, lender, and borrower experience in one seat, which is the most portable profile in finance right now
  • Cravath scale ($260K–$435K depending on class year), plus bonus eligibility
