Position Description                                                                                                                                                                                                           
HPS is seeking to recruit an Associate to join the Private Credit Product Specialist Team.  This role will be based in the firm’s New York headquarters.  The Product Specialist teams at HPS are an instrumental part of the firm’s overall strategy and growth.  Within Private Credit, this team plays a key role in the continued growth and evolution of the business, which is already one of the most consequential and well-respected in the industry.

The Product Specialist team is responsible for development and positioning of the Private Credit business from an overall perspective.  This team is responsible for all activities related to strategy development and positioning of the overall business, as well as playing an integral role in fundraising, marketing, and ongoing investor relations activity.  This team works closely with the firm’s generalist sales force, in a range of activities that includes creating and updating both product and thought leadership materials, running analytical outputs to help facilitate investor inquiries, and providing support throughout the full sales and investor relations client lifecycle.
