Job Description — Associate

Whereas equity is typically used to finance the underlying operating business, i80’s credit is used to cost-effectively originate collateralizable assets (real estate, equipment, receivables, loan pools, etc). Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all structure, we design bespoke solutions specific to the unique needs of our partners.

  • Work fluently with large and diverse datasets
  • Prepare investment memos with a strong attention to detail
  • Participate in and support various aspects of the deal execution process
  • Monitor portfolio companies to ensure accurate reporting and generate performance reviews
  • Aid in deal sourcing by identifying emerging companies and organizing initial meetings
  • Develop various pieces of marketing content to build i80’s brand

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • 3–5 years of experience across private credit investing, investment banking, debt capital markets / leveraged finance, structured / asset-based finance, restructuring
  • Strong knowledge of credit underwriting and accounting principles
  • Advanced Excel skills (Alteryx a plus)

Other desired skills:

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Highly organized with ability to multi-task and manage priorities against key deadlines
  • Must be able to work independently, but contribute in a team-oriented environment
  • Acute attention to accuracy and detail
  • No ego
