Executive Assistant, Global Private Debt

Our Company

Oaktree is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments, with more than $220 billion in assets under management. The firm emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented, and risk-controlled approach to investments in credit, equity, and real estate. The firm has more than 1,400 employees and offices in more than 25 cities worldwide.

We are committed to cultivating an environment that is collaborative, curious, inclusive and honors diversity of thought. Providing training and career development opportunities and emphasizing strong support for our local communities through philanthropic initiatives are essential to our culture.

The Global Private Debt strategy seeks to achieve attractive, risk-adjusted absolute returns by originating or participating in the syndication of performing debt issued privately by borrowers. Initially focused on mezzanine financings, the strategy has evolved to include directly originated senior loans. The key elements of our approach include working with experienced management teams and strong equity sponsors, conducting thorough due diligence for every transaction, avoiding overpriced transactions, targeting conservative deal structures, participating in company governance (through board seats or observer rights) and actively monitoring investments to stay ahead of potential credit issues.
