About the Role
Finance Associate – Top US Firm in London
(3–5 PQE | Fund Finance / Leveraged Finance)
I’m working with a top-tier US firm in London that’s looking to add a Finance Associate to its growing and busy team. The practice covers a broad mix of fund finance, private credit, leveraged finance, and some real estate finance, with a strong pipeline and ambitious growth plans (3 to 5 hires are expected this year).
The Role
This position will give you exposure to a wide range of finance work including:
-
Fund Finance (primarily borrower-side), including subscription facilities, NAV facilities, rated products, and occasional lender-side matters
-
Private Credit / Leveraged Finance, both lender and borrower-side, often focused on acquisition finance for portfolio companies
-
Some Real Estate Finance, depending on deal flow and interests
The team is open to tailoring the role to your strengths and preferences. If you have a strong interest in fund finance or leveraged finance, they will ensure that forms a core part of your deal sheet. Training and support will be provided to help you gain confidence across the full range of finance work.

Strong sense of camaraderie with regular team lunches, dinners, and social events

What They’re Looking For

-
Experience in either fund finance or leveraged finance (ideally both, but not essential)
-
Fund finance candidates can come from a borrower or lender-side background, but should be keen to broaden their skills

Leveraged finance candidates should ideally have experience acting for private credit funds or sponsors (not just national banks)
Compensation

Top of market
-
Target: 1800 billable hours
If you’re a mid-level finance associate looking for variety, top-quality work, and a genuinely supportive team, this is a great opportunity to join a team that’s growing quickly and going from strength to strength.
