ROLE OVERVIEW & CONTEXT

We are seeking an Associate / Senior Associate – Credit Sales to join the Credit & Hybrid Alternatives team in Mumbai. The role reports to the Managing Director and, from a day-to-day work perspective, works closely with the Executive Director – Private Credit. The incumbent will support the origination, structuring and execution of credit transactions — primarily INR-denominated debt facilities, including non-convertible debenture (NCD) placements.

This is a deal-facing and investor-facing role. The majority of the mandate centres on credit sales and distribution — building and deepening relationships with institutional investors, reading investor appetite,

and translating the investment team’s credit work into clear, compelling investor communication. Execution of debt transactions will constitute approximately 20% of the incumbent’s time. The position requires close collaboration with the investment, compliance and risk teams.

As India’s private credit and corporate bond markets deepen, Lighthouse Canton is scaling its credit origination and co-investment franchise. The role is designed for a high-potential professional eager to deepen domain expertise in Indian and cross-border credit markets within a globally oriented platform.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Origination, Structuring & Deal Support
- Support the origination, structuring and execution of debt transactions, particularly NCD placements and other INR-denominated debt facilities.
- Work alongside the investment team to understand credit analysis — business and financial diligence,

cash-flow and covenant assessment, security structures and downside scenarios — and translate this into investor-facing narratives.




- Assist in the sale of credit transactions that are co-invested in by the credit funds of Lighthouse

Canton, ensuring alignment between fund positioning and third-party investor demand.
- Credit Sales & Institutional Distribution
- Support credit sales and distribution efforts by identifying and mapping investor appetite across instrument types, tenors, ratings and yield expectations.
- Build and maintain relationships with institutional investors — mutual funds, insurance companies,

banks, family offices and corporate treasuries.
- Facilitate primary and secondary market activity in credit instruments, coordinating with internal and external stakeholders for the execution of primary debt transactions.
- Maintain a live view of the distribution pipeline and investor feedback to sharpen placement strategy.
- Trade Execution, Settlement & Returns Analytics
- Execute secondary bond orders received from the team under senior supervision, ensuring a best-execution experience for investors.
- Ensure accurate and timely trade booking, confirmation and settlement coordination with the operations team.
- Lead pre-trade and post-trade transaction yield and return calculations, including holding-period returns, and maintain auditable records of pricing assumptions.
- Market, Macro & Regulatory Intelligence
- Stay abreast of macro-economic developments, RBI monetary policy, SEBI regulations and credit-rating agency methodologies.
- Assess the impact of market, policy and rating developments on the deal pipeline and portfolio positioning, and communicate implications to the team and investors.
- Track comparable primary issuances, secondary market levels and spread movements to inform pricing and placement decisions.
- Investor Materials, Reporting & Disclosure
- Prepare high-quality investor presentations, pitch materials and periodic disclosures aligned to institutional expectations, partnering closely with the investment and compliance teams.
- Support the preparation of credit memos, transaction summaries and post-investment updates to a standard suitable for institutional and regulatory audiences.
- Ensure all investor-facing materials are routed through the applicable review and approval workflows before external distribution.
- Governance, Risk & Continuous Improvement




- Operate within the firm’s investment, risk, compliance and conduct frameworks, escalating exceptions promptly and transparently.
- Contribute to process improvement and thought-leadership initiatives in the domain of credit sales —

including better use of data, automation and AI-enabled workflows for research, pricing and investor reporting.
- Help codify repeatable playbooks for placement, execution and investor reporting as the platform scales.
