Financial Modelling Analyst – Private Equity & Credit (Remote)

Competitive USD pay, based on experience | 100% remote | Full-time contract

• Building PE, credit, and debt models from scratch in Excel (no templates)

• Structuring transactions, assumptions, and key drivers

• Linking the full model flow: operations → cash flow → debt → returns

• Reviewing and debugging models built by others, spotting flawed assumptions, broken logic, and hidden risks

• Explaining why a model works, not just what it outputs

Private Equity / LBO

• Sources & uses and transaction assumptions

• Multi-tranche debt schedules (revolver, term loans, mezzanine, cash sweep)

• Returns analysis: IRR, MOIC, value creation bridges

• Operating models with sensitivities, downside cases, and exit scenarios

• Add-ons, dividend recaps, or refinancings (a plus)

Credit / Debt

• Covenant modeling (leverage, DSCR, interest coverage) and headroom testing

• Downside and stress cases that drive a lending decision

• Amortization, PIK, cash sweeps, and refinancing mechanics

• Private credit / direct lending deal models

• Recovery analysis and payment waterfalls

• 2–10 years in finance roles with heavy, hands-on modeling

• Buy-side PE experience (deal diligence, portfolio company modeling, IC materials backed by your own models) – strongly preferred

• Background in private equity, leveraged finance, sponsor coverage, private credit, direct lending, or credit underwriting

• Models you built that drove real investment or lending decisions

• Sharp attention to detail and strong written and spoken English

Shortlisted candidates complete a ~3-hour take-home Excel modeling exercise, done independently and designed to mirror real-world deal work.
