The Product Leader - Accounting and Credit Fund Administration will own the end-to-end product strategy and execution for core fund accounting and administration capabilities across private credit vehicles. Reporting to the Head of Product – Private Credit, this role is responsible for defining the product vision, multi-year roadmap, and quarterly priorities that enable world-class fund accounting, waterfall and carry calculations, NAV production, fee processing, investor reporting, and regulatory compliance (GAAP/IFRS/ILPA).
