About the Role
Yieldstreet’s Investment Team is looking for a Commercial Investment Associate to join our Private Credit vertical. This role is a front line of defense for incoming trade finance and specialty finance transactions, working closely with senior underwriters to thoroughly vet all potential business opportunities by developing a comprehensive list of questions to ask and information to obtain to make an informed decision to underwrite a new deal. You will work side by side with Senior Underwriters on transactions as we underwrite, document and close new offerings as well as assist our marketing team as we prepare these opportunities for launch on our platform. Performance tracking will also be part of this role; reviewing borrowing bases, covenant compliance and financial reporting on a weekly or monthly basis and communicating results to senior members on the team at regular team meetings. This role will be on a small team of senior underwriters that drives significant growth for our company so working independently while also moving the function forward is critical.
What you'll do:
- Screen and review all CIMS and ancillary reporting data, asking the right questions to understand the underlying business and evaluate requests, making recommendations to senior underwriters in turn.
- Prepare in depth financial analysis on historic balance sheet, income statement and cash flow performance as well as vet projection models, developing appropriate sensitivity analysis.
- Conduct originator, borrower and guarantor due diligence, including analysis of transaction structure, counterparty creditworthiness, and quality of collateral pledged as security.
- Work with underwriters to underwrite the performance of accounts receivable, inventory and/or equipment collateral from a credit perspective providing appropriate comp analysis and industry research.
- Prepare drafts of all Series Note Supplements and Offering Pages and work collaboratively with underwriting, legal and marketing teams for approval often under tight deadlines.
- Monitor current performance of each transaction with comparisons to prior periods and planned performance for borrowing bases, financial results, model performance and covenant compliance with credit agreements.
What you’ll need:
- Bachelor’s Degree required. A focus in Finance or Accounting is a plus
- Formal Credit Training and/or a minimum of two years in a comparable role.
- Excellent organizational skills and high attention to detail
- Deal execution mindset
- Analytical and curious mind, understanding the details of all the requests on your desk but also the expertise to ask the right questions to evaluate transactions efficiently (gather all the pros and cons).
- Ability to work at the pace of a venture-backed, hyper growth organization where you’ll need to think and act on your feet strategically and independently, all while delivering high quality analysis.
- Flexible and dynamic capacity to multitask on several transactions at the same time.
Bonus points for:
- In depth knowledge of excel is critical for this function.
- CPA or MBA in finance or completion of a formal Bank Credit Training Program
