Job Description — Vice President
Location: San Francisco
i80 Group is a specialty finance investment manager, providing capital and support to breakthrough fintech and proptech companies.

- Review diligence materials with a focus on evaluating and manipulating loan tapes to perform credit analysis
- Exhibit subject matter expertise across financial statement analysis and fixed-income transaction mechanics
- Work fluently with large and diverse datasets
- Monitor portfolio companies to ensure accurate reporting and generate performance reviews
- Develop various pieces of marketing content to build i80’s brand
