Senior Associate of Operations

Join Setpoint Capital as a Senior Associate of Operations, where you will play a key role in managing the deal lifecycle and driving operational efficiency. You will lead pre-close operational diligence, manage post-close operations, and partner cross-functionally with various teams. The ideal candidate has a strong background in operations, structured finance, or asset management, and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

• Lead pre-close operational diligence for new facilities, including KYC/OFAC, insurance, custody and servicing structure setup, data tape configuration, and cash controls.
• Manage post-close operations across the portfolio, including custody oversight, daily funding request review and approvals, and facility monitoring.
• Partner cross-functionally with Investments, Legal, Finance, and Debt Capital Markets on deal execution, renewals, amendments, and lender reporting requirements.
• A great communicator: You possess clear written and verbal communication skills, pay close attention to detail, and build strong relationships across teams and with external counterparties
• A doer: You have a strong bias towards action and a “get it done” mentality
• A problem-solver: You get to expert status quickly in new areas, understand what matters most, and drive issues to resolution
• A systems thinker: You can map complex workflows end-to-end, identify where things break, and build processes that hold up at scale
• A process driver: You can pick up complex systems — legal structures, leverage facilities, custody workflows — and design repeatable, scalable solutions
• A multi-tasker: You can manage multiple deals and operational workflows simultaneously and execute them reliably under tight deadlines
• Experience in a high-growth environment strongly preferred
• High judgment and ability to operate with limited oversight in ambiguous or time-sensitive situations
• Familiarity with credit facility mechanics: borrowing bases, advance rates, eligibility criteria, concentration limits, and leverage partner reporting
• Strong Excel skills; comfort with data and reporting tools (SQL or BI tools a plus)
• 4–6 years of experience in operations, structured finance, credit, or asset management; experience in real estate finance or specialty lending strongly preferred
• Ability to independently manage multiple complex workflows under tight deadlines
• Clear, concise communicator; comfortable engaging across functions and with external counterparties (borrowers, lenders, custodians, servicers)
