We have partnered with a leading global alternative investment manager looking to hire an experienced Private Debt PM/Analyst with insurance investment experience (Solvency II/MA Framework) to join a highly respected team in Zurich.
Over the past several years, we’ve partnered closely with this business to build out their European insurance investment platform. This team has already deployed significant capital into private debt transactions on behalf of their insurance clients as they continue to scale.
This is a front-office investment role that combines private debt knowledge, insurance regulatory fluency and presentation skills to support capital deployment into private assets on behalf of the team's insurance clients.
The successful candidate will evaluate private debt investment opportunities and drive investment/capital deployment decisions into these deals. Additionally, there will be a focus on driving portfolio construction across private market asset classes (predominantly private debt), as well as a high level of client interaction.
Unlike traditional investment roles, this position is focused on portfolio-level strategic deployment, capital efficiency, and stakeholder engagement. The opportunity is well-suited to a candidate with strong knowledge of private debt at both a deal level and portfolio level, insurance regulatory experience (Solvency II/MA), and excellent presentation skills.
Key requirements:
* 4–12+ years of experience in insurance, asset management, sell-side, or investment consulting
* Strong familiarity with investing (or advising insurance clients on their investments) under the Solvency II/MA framework (required)
* Deep knowledge of private debt at both a deal level and portfolio level
* Understanding of the most optimal private debt investments for various insurance balance sheets, and why the asset class makes sense for insurers
* EU Citizenship/Right to work in Switzerland (Required)
* A strong understanding of capital efficiency principles
* Familiarity with Solvency II Standard Formula for European Insurance clients (plus but not required)
Key responsibilities:
* Evaluate private market investments (primarily private debt) through the lens of capital efficiency, regulatory fit, and portfolio alignment
* Contribute to strategic capital deployment decisions in collaboration with deal teams, actuaries, and reporting functions
* Develop and present investment narratives to internal and external stakeholders, often under tight timelines
* Apply Solvency II Matching Adjustment (MA) frameworks to private asset investment decision-making
* Liaise with origination teams and insurance partners to align investment pipeline with portfolio needs
* Support client engagement by translating complex transactions into clear, commercial messaging
