STRUCTURED CORPORATE CREDIT

Structured Corporate Credit (“SCC”) is a growth area within Private Credit, focusing on financings backed by various forms of corporate credit support. SCC provides flexible funding solutions across the capital structure, engaging in a broad range of structured solutions as well as a wide range of asset classes, products, industries and sectors, including digital infrastructure, power, utilities and healthcare.

This is an opportunity to play an important role in the development and growth of our global structured corporate credit platform and to get exposure to a global team and its full spectrum of activities, which are varied and challenging. These encompass transaction origination, underwriting, structuring, risk management and execution. Combined with the small deal team sizes, the broad range of transaction structures and sectors in which we invest provide an extremely wide range of exposure and skill set development.

Client focus and creativity are the cornerstones of our business. We strive towards an entrepreneurial, flexible, and open culture, where we work collaboratively with teams across GSAM, as well as the broader Goldman Sachs franchise, on initiatives that further improve overall performance and enable us to anticipate our clients’ evolving needs. At Goldman Sachs, our culture is one of teamwork, innovation and meritocracy. We often say our people are our greatest asset and we take pride in supporting each colleague both professionally and personally.

Managing Directors support the business by working as part of small deal teams responsible for identifying, conducting due diligence, structuring, executing, and monitoring investments. The broad range of transaction structures and sectors in which we invest give Managing Directors a broad range of exposure and ample opportunities to develop their investment acumen. They are also responsible for the training and support of the junior team members, ensuring effective portfolio management, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. Given the growing nature of the investment strategy, Managing Directors in Structured Corporate Credit form part of the core team from the start which results in a highly entrepreneurial and flat working environment and exciting career development opportunities.
