The posting

We are global private markets specialists delivering tailored investment solutions, advisory services, and impactful, data driven insights to the world’s investors. Leveraging the power of our platform and our peerless intelligence across sectors, strategies, and geographies, we help identify the advantages and the answers our clients need to succeed.

Position Overview (Vice President or Director)

This role focuses on asset-based finance (ABF) co-investment opportunities in private debt. The successful candidate will play a critical role in sourcing, analyzing, and executing ABF co-investment transactions, preparing recommendations for the Firm’s Investment Committee, and supporting the broader Private Debt platform. A deep understanding of private markets and experience in executing ABF single transactions is required. Familiarity with ABF-focused GPs is an advantage but not mandatory.

  • Maintain and improve existing relationships with GPs in the ABF space to increase co-investment flow; build out new GP relationships in the ABF space
  • Train analysts in the US to expand the capabilities of the investment team within the ABF market
  • Prepare high-quality Investment Memorandums aligned with StepStone standards
  • Perform market research and analyze macroeconomic trends with a focus on ABF sectors
  • Build and interpret ABF-specific financial models for ABF strategies and structured credit assets
  • Communicate investment theses clearly and defend recommendations in Investment Committee settings

ABF Focus Areas

Examples of relevant ABF strategies include:

  • Consumer Lending (Credit Cards, Auto, etc.)
  • Aircraft Leasing
  • Litigation Finance
  • Significant Risk Transfers (SRTs)
  • Royalties
  • Other specialized asset-backed opportunities.

Qualifications

  • BA/BS in Business, Finance, Economics, or Accounting
  • Demonstrated track record of academic and professional success
  • Experience executing ABF single transactions or ABF co-investments
  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills, including ABF-specific modeling
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • CFA designation a plus

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • Applied experience in valuation and investment analysis, ideally in ABF structures
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
  • Team-oriented mindset with strong interpersonal skills

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
