- Respond to ad‑hoc analytical requests from credit portfolio managers, senior management, and investors, with a focus on actual and projected credit performance, portfolio composition, liquidity, and economic impact to Affinius Capital’s management company.
- Support the development and delivery of credit‑focused reporting solutions for internal and external stakeholders, leveraging existing reporting platforms (including Power BI) and alternative tools as appropriate, all with a focus on publishing information to decision makers.
- Foster strong cross‑functional collaboration with teams in San Antonio, New York, and Europe, contributing to a cohesive, team‑oriented culture.
