The Analyst will be part of a dedicated restructuring team managing over $1.0bn in assets that are experiencing financial distress. As part of CPW, you’ll work directly with borrowers, lenders, and external advisors to execute complex restructurings—both out-of-court and in-court (e.g., Chapter 11), and support companies as they work through ongoing challenges. The team also underwrites protective investments, opportunistically acquires distressed securities in the secondary market, and advises deal teams on amendments and covenant waivers.

In CPW, no two deals are alike. You will gain exposure to a diverse set of companies, sectors, and unique / complex situations, and your analysis will help to drive important investment decisions.

• Track macroeconomic trends and sector-specific developments.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Interface with management teams, lenders, legal counsel, and advisors.

• Collaborate with internal teams including legal, tax, and fund operations.

What you will bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field

• 1–3 years of experience in investment banking, private credit, restructuring advisory, asset management, or consulting. 

• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (modeling), PowerPoint, and Word.
