Vice President, Investment Operations - Private

I’m partnering with a leading global alternative investment manager to hire a VP-level Investment Operations / Deal Specialist to support the build-out of its Asia private credit platform , based in Singapore .

This is a replacement hire and a high-impact, one-person operations role locally, working closely with senior investment professionals in Asia and a global platform based in the US.

This role sits at the intersection of investment, operations, and execution .

You’ll work closely with the private credit investment team to support deal execution and lifecycle management , while partnering with global operations, fund administrators, legal, and other stakeholders to ensure transactions are operationally robust and scalable .

It’s ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, ownership, and being close to the deal process , rather than operating in a large back-office team.

• Act as the primary investment operations / deal specialist for the Asia private credit platform

• Partner closely with the investment team on deal execution, structuring, and operational readiness

• Support the full transaction lifecycle , from deal onboarding through ongoing portfolio operations

• Coordinate with fund administrators, legal counsel, compliance, and global ops teams

• Ensure consistency with global standards and controls , while adapting to local execution needs

• Help build and refine processes and infrastructure as the Asia platform scales

• Serve as the key operations interface between Asia and the US team

We’re looking for someone who brings depth, maturity, and sound judgment .

• 8–12+ years of experience in investment operations, deal operations, or transaction support

• Exposure to private credit, direct lending, private markets, or alternative investments

• Experience working closely with investment professionals , not just post-trade operations

• Comfort operating as a one-person function with global support

• Prior experience in an international / global platform (US-headquartered a plus)

• A calm, adaptable, solutions-oriented mindset — especially in changing environments

• Fund accounting only

• Highly process-driven roles with large teams and limited deal exposure

• Hybrid: 3 days in office / 2 days WFH
  (More in-office collaboration encouraged when working closely with the investment team)

• Global exposure: Direct interaction with senior stakeholders in Asia and the US

• Culture: Professional, pragmatic, and collaborative; quality and judgment matter more than speed

• Workload: Sustainable; typically one late-evening US call per week

• Current incumbent is exiting shortly

• US team will provide interim support

• Target onboarding: by Q2

• Senior, trusted role with real influence

• Close partnership with a growing private credit investment team

• Opportunity to help shape the Asia platform , not just run BAU

• Backed by a global, well-established investment manager
