About Levante SCS Levante Structured Capital Solutions ("Levante SCS") is an Asset-Based Finance (ABF) investor focused on the lower-middle market. We provide private, asset-backed financing solutions to originators, owners of cash-generating asset pools and specialty lenders, across Europe and the UK. Our senior team combines an extensive structured credit investment track record at leading global asset managers with C-level operating experience at major fintech platforms and financial institutions. The fund is supported by a strategic partner that has already committed anchor capital.
The Role We are seeking a driven and intellectually curious Investment Analyst / Associate to join the investment team at a formative stage of the platform. Reporting directly to the management team, you will play an integral role across the full investment cycle, from first call to exit. Key responsibilities include: Origination and screening:
source and assess inbound and proprietary opportunities across consumer, SME, real-asset and broader specialty finance collateral types, conducting initial market analysis as well as platform and credit assessments. Underwriting:
analyse data tapes and historical performance (delinquencies, defaults, prepayments, recoveries); build asset- and liability-side cash-flow models incorporating stress scenarios; support operational and legal due diligence on originators and servicers. Structuring and execution:
help shape facility terms (advance rates, eligibility criteria, triggers, covenants) and coordinate with counterparties,
legal counsel and third-party advisers through to closing. Investment committee:
prepare investment memoranda and present your analysis and recommendations to the investment committee. Portfolio monitoring:
track portfolio performance against underwriting assumptions, review servicer reporting, and identify early-warning indicators and remedial actions. Fund building:
contribute to investor materials, LP reporting and the development of the firm's investment processes and infrastructure.
Candidate Profile 1–5 years of relevant experience in structured finance, securitisation, leveraged or asset-backed lending, investment banking or a comparable analytical role at a lending platform or originator. Strong financial modelling skills in Excel and comfort working with large, unstructured asset-level datasets; familiarity with Python, SQL or similar tools is a plus. A sound understanding of credit analysis and structural protections, including cash-flow waterfalls, tranching, collateral eligibility and performance triggers. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to articulate and defend an investment view in front of senior stakeholders. A strong academic background in finance, economics,
engineering, mathematics or another quantitative discipline. Fluency in English is required; another European language is a plus. An entrepreneurial, ownership mindset: you seek responsibility, are willing to take initiative and thrive in a lean team, without a large support structure.
Why Levante SCS Nimble, not bureaucratic:
a lean buy-side platform with no layers, no silos and fast decision-making. Your work goes directly to the Partners and the investment committee. Breadth and ownership:
exposure to every stage of the transaction lifecycle and the opportunity to contribute to building a fund from the ground up, an experience that is rarely available within a large institution. Mentorship:
direct access to Partners who have built and scaled ABF businesses at leading general platforms. Compensation and growth:
financial incentives aligned to both individual and fund performance, and a clear path to greater responsibility as the platform scales. Mandate and location : the opportunity to cover a pan-European and UK investment mandate from Madrid, with offices in Paseo de Recoletos.
