Our client, a global private credit investment firm focuses on financing SMEs across emerging markets through structured lending, trade finance and partnerships with high‑quality non-bank financial institutions. They operate with a disciplined, risk-first investment approach and have a strong footprint across Africa — with South Africa and Kenya being key strategic markets.
The Portfolio Manager plays a central role in originating, structuring, executing, and managing investments across Africa and other emerging markets. The role requires strong analytical capability, sound credit judgement, commercial negotiation skills, and the ability to manage both new transactions and ongoing borrower relationships.
The Portfolio Manager works autonomously while collaborating closely with the Chief Investment Officer, Risk, Operations, Legal, and external partners to ensure strong portfolio performance and disciplined risk management.
