Fractional Chief Financial Officer - Credit Funds

Requirements

• Deep credit background-a must-have-including restructurings, corporate actions, and special situations / distressed
• Intimate, hands-on knowledge of Bloomberg AIM as the order management system and book of record-often the single most critical technical requirement
• Understanding of the operational complexity when a security ticker or CUSIP attached to a bond goes into restructuring and turns into something else through a corporate action
• Very hands-on knowledge of derivative instruments, including swaps, forwards, cleared products, and credit derivatives (e.g., credit default swaps / CDX); derivatives are a primary source of operational pain
• Experience building and scaling finance and operations platforms through the kind of growth these firms are targeting
• Experience working with fund administrators on a complex, multi-asset credit strategy, and improving the firm-to-administrator data pipeline and reconciliation process
• Strongly Preferred
• Emerging markets experience (e.g., hard-currency EM debt) and comfort with a multi-asset, multi-strategy book
• Familiarity with bank loans within a credit portfolio
• Familiarity with portfolio reporting / reconciliation automation tools (e.g., Lightkeeper) and realistic expectations for implementation effort and benefit
• Practical experience using AI tools with appropriate caution
