Talent Network — Nearwater Capital

The Opportunity

Nearwater Capital is a specialty finance firm working with pension funds, asset managers, and PE firms across our New York, Dublin, London, and Toronto offices. We're actively hiring across several teams right now, but if none of our current openings is quite the right fit, we still want to hear from you. This is a chance to get on our radar directly, so we can reach out when the right role opens.

What You'll Do

Roles at Nearwater span origination, hr, project management, finance, operations, risk, legal, and technology, depending on where you land. Across all of them, you'll work closely with a small, senior team, take on real ownership early, and help build processes as much as execute them.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Direct experience in specialty finance, private credit, asset management, or closely adjacent fields

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Preferred:

Prior experience at a small or lean organization

How You Work

Comfortable operating with a high degree of independence

A self-starter who looks for ways to reduce manual work

Hands-on and willing to roll up your sleeves, regardless of seniority

Well organized and able to manage ambiguity

What You'll Get

Direct exposure to senior leaders and firm-level decision-making

The chance to shape a growing, multi-jurisdiction organization rather than fit into an existing one

Broad exposure across specialty finance functions rather than a narrow lane
