Associate, Credit & Investment

The Opportunity

CSC is seeking an experienced Associate to serve as part of our Credit & Investment team. The ideal candidate should be comfortable thinking for themselves and working autonomously to formulate investment theses for deals. Our flat organizational structure combined with the continuing expansion of the Credit & Investment team provides an exceptional opportunity for career growth and upward mobility.

While independent and self-motivated performance are valued, team-oriented principles are also required for the experienced Associate role. The Associate serves as a deal team lead and collaborates with our Analysts, Directors, Sales team, Account Managers, and Finance team to service our customers. Team-oriented, customer service is a must in this role.

The ideal candidate would have experience in venture lending, investment banking, commercial banking, or corporate finance. Experience in senior debt, asset-based financing, equipment-based financing, subordinated or mezzanine debt, or private equity is a plus. Candidates should have demonstrated business acumen and experience with financial statement modeling. In this role you’ll review client provided financial models and investment presentations and be asked to synthesize that information in a short-form investment memo and present to our internal Investment Committees.
