Investment Analyst Jobs in Massachusetts

G MASS are seeking an Alternative Operations professional to support the lifecycle management of private debt and private equity investments across a growing alternatives platform.

This role offers the opportunity to take greater ownership within the function, with exposure across trade settlement, asset servicing, cash management and accounting processes relating to complex loan structures and private market transactions. It suits someone who can be given direction, take responsibility for a workstream quickly, and build genuine working relationships with the client team rather than someone who needs to arrive with the exact technical background already in place.

The successful candidate will work closely with investment teams, fund administrators and external counterparties, contributing to process improvements and control enhancements as they get up to speed. The position offers strong exposure to private markets activity within a collaborative and evolving environment, and genuine scope for someone who learns fast to grow into the role.

Responsibilities

• Support the timely settlement and day-to-day operational management of private debt and private equity investments, contributing across deal facilitation, settlement processing, income accounting and cash wire controls.
• Get involved across a broad range of asset lifecycle activities including asset setup, ticket preparation, settlement confirmation oversight, reconciliations, vaulting requests and ad-hoc operational investigations.
• Build familiarity with physical security registration processes and provide operational support for more complex debt restructurings, amendments and refinancing events.
• Coordinate loan agency-related activity, including drawdowns, repayments, interest calculations and covenant-driven events, developing accuracy across all associated operational processes.
• Review and help maintain lifecycle accounting events across private market investments, including principal and interest (P&I), fees, expenses, capital calls and distributions.
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders across Front Office, Legal, Finance and external custodians/administrators, acting as a reliable and collaborative point of contact as trust and scope build over time.

• Strong client-facing soft skills: someone who takes direction well, learns quickly, and is comfortable being thrown into live work and taking ownership of it.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a collaborative partner to a client team, not just an execution resource.
• Some exposure to loans terminology or middle-office operations is helpful; a background in trade support, fund accounting, or middle-office within financial services is likely to transfer well.
• Exact private debt / alternatives operations experience is not required. Candidates without a direct AltOps background will be considered where the soft-skill and trainability profile is strong.
• Comfortable operating in a controlled, detail-oriented environment with a focus on accuracy and timeliness once up to speed.
• Able to manage multiple transactions and priorities in a fast-paced alternatives platform.
