The Opportunity:

CSC is seeking an experienced Associate to serve as part of our Credit & Investment team. The Associate position is an integral part of the firm's transaction review process. 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.

The Associate position will work from our corporate office in Richmond, Virginia. CSC is an in-office work culture, with the ability to work hybrid as needed to balance your personal life. Your time outside of the office is your own. CSC is a hyper-responsive financing partner, so you'll be asked to handle deal timelines accordingly, but boundaries are set and adhered to in order to ensure you have the balance you need outside of the office.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Perform financial analysis on new and existing portfolio companies
• Lead due diligence calls with company CFOs, CEOs, and growth equity sponsors
• Compose credit memorandums
• Present analysis to Investment Committee, CSC executives, and syndication partners
• Assist with credit issuance and exposure management for existing AUM
• Monitor and report on credit risk and exposure for CSC's portfolio
• Perform strategic initiative as assigned, including special projects for our CIO/President

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in financial modeling, operational, and/or strategic decision-making positions
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think critically and strategically
• High agency and high ownership when executing on deadlines
