Analyst/Associate, Private Credit Investments
We have partnered with a leading global alternative investment manager looking to hire an Analyst/Associate, Private Credit to join a well-established and fast-growing insurance investment platform in Zurich.
This is a generalist seat supporting portfolio reporting, data and management information across a diverse book of institutional and insurance clients. The role sits alongside a private credit team that deploys long-term capital across the full spectrum of the asset class, from investment-grade private credit through to more opportunistic strategies, and offers genuine exposure to senior decision-makers from day one.
The platform has a collegial, hands-on culture, a flat structure from senior leadership down, and a track record of promoting internally into more deal-facing and client-facing responsibilities over time. It suits someone who wants real ownership early in their career, in an environment built for pace rather than process.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce portfolio reports and management information across a range of institutional and insurance clients.
- Clean, reconcile and present portfolio data for different internal and external audiences.
- Build slides and materials for senior leadership and clients.
- Support the fund and alternatives book, including drawdowns and fund-level reporting.
- Automate manual processes using Excel, Python and AI-assisted tooling.
- Grow over time into broader eligibility assessment and more deal-facing work.
Requirements & Qualifications
Essential
- Experience in private debt or insurance regulatory frameworks (Solvency II), ideally both.
- Strong Excel and data skills, comfortable working with large, messy datasets.
- High degree of diligence, pace and independent judgement, comfortable operating with limited oversight.
- EU or Swiss citizenship, or an existing right to work in Switzerland. Sponsorship is not available for this role.
- Fluent English.
Strongly Preferred
- Python or other coding and automation capability.
- Exposure to fund structures or alternative investments.
- Additional European language skills.
