As of December 31, 2023 Carlyle’s Direct Lending strategy has approximately $9.6 billion of assets under management14 primarily across three business development companies (“BDC’s”), an evergreen open-ended private fund (Carlyle Direct Lending Fund), as well as a variety of rated structures and separately managed accounts.
Carlyle seeks to hire a Vice President for our Direct Lending Underwriting Team. Carlyle Direct Lending’s Underwriting Team is organized across four distinct sectors: Services and Industrials, Software and Technology, Consumer and Retail and Healthcare. Each sector has a dedicated group of investment professionals which generally consists of a sector lead and several supporting Vice Presidents.
The Vice President we seek to hire will serve as a key member of the Software sector team, critical to the underwriting, credit approval and portfolio management processes for transactions, including initial screening of deals, structuring, proposal issuance, detailed due diligence, formal credit approval, negotiation of documentation and closing. The Vice President will have primary responsibility for industry analysis, financial modeling oversight, and development of key diligence analyses in conjunction with all proposed transactions. We anticipate this individual will develop expertise and thought leadership over time in one (or more) of the broader vertical’s many sub-sectors.
