Position Overview
Libertas Funding is seeking a detail-oriented and data-savvy Capital Operations Associate to serve as the front-line operator for our portfolio syndication and warehouse facility management. This role is the critical "traffic controller" between our deal flow and our various financing facilities.
The ideal candidate is a disciplined professional capable of managing a bimodal workflow: high-precision, time-sensitive execution during daily allocation cycles, followed by analytical, project-based work focused on process optimization. This role requires a high degree of situational awareness—knowing when to prioritize speed and immediate accuracy, and when to apply a methodical approach to improving our underlying data infrastructure and reporting workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Daily Morning Execution: Run SQL queries and QuickSight/dashboard downloads to identify new deal flow and available capacity. Execute the daily allocation tools used to pledge deals to various facilities.
- Asset Allocation & Pledging: Use internal and Excel-based systems to check deal criteria against facility requirements. Assign participations and execute the morning "pledge" to ensure optimal balance sheet velocity.
- Facility Reporting: Prepare and submit Borrowing Base certificates and periodic reporting packages for various financing partners and warehouse providers.
- Shadow Accounting & Reconciliation: Perform daily and weekly reconciliations to ensure deal cash flows and participation splits are executed accurately by the Finance/Treasury team.
- Continuous Improvement & Scalability: Continuously audit and refine the existing suite of reporting and allocation tools to improve efficiency and data integrity. Lead the development of workflow automations and tool enhancements, providing detailed feedback and bug reports to technical teams to align internal systems with evolving capital markets requirements.
- Data Integrity: Act as the "source of truth" for facility compliance. Identify and resolve data discrepancies in the primary system by collaborating with the underwriting and closing teams to ensure clean reporting.
- Audit Support: Maintain a rigorous audit trail of all allocation decisions and facility movements to facilitate seamless third-party reviews.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 3–5 years of experience in middle-office operations, trade support, or fund administration, ideally within private credit, specialty finance, or asset-based lending (ABL).
- Technical Proficiency: Strong SQL and Advanced Excel skills are required. Experience with QuickSight or similar BI tools or experience with Python is a plus.
- Systems Thinker: You understand the "plumbing" of a credit facility. You can read a credit agreement’s eligibility criteria and translate it into a functional allocation logic.
- High Precision: You are the type of person who is bothered by a $0.01 discrepancy and will hunt down the root cause.
- Operational Stamina: You enjoy the "Morning Sprint" and the satisfaction of a perfectly reconciled ledger. You are capable of working independently with minimal supervision while keeping senior leadership informed of potential bottlenecks.
- No-Nonsense Approach: You prioritize accuracy and execution. You are looking for a role where your individual competency directly impacts the firm's liquidity and scale.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related technical field recommended.
Location
This is an in-office role based in Greenwich, CT. Candidates must reside within a reasonable commuting distance to the office.
Why Join Libertas Funding?
- Ownership: You will be the primary operator of the capital markets desk, not a nameless cog in a large back-office machine.
- Autonomy: We value competence and independence. Once trained, you will have significant "runway" to manage the daily process and evolve our reporting tools.
- Lean Team Environment: Direct access to senior leadership in an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment.
- Competitive Compensation: Robust base salary and bonus structure designed to attract top-tier middle-office talent.
Salary Range: $125,000 – $145,000 (Base) + Performance-Based Bonus
