• Lead quarterly and annual loan review processes, including risk rating updates, credit assessments, and preparation of decision-useful reporting for senior leadership and investment committees.
• Maintain deep fluency in loan documents—covenants, cash management provisions, control rights, reporting requirements, remedies, and amendment mechanics. Ensure accurate interpretation, tracking, and enforcement across the portfolio.

• Provide asset management reporting and updates to the Risk Committee, including recommended actions and key risk flags.

Technology, Systems & Process Improvement

• Leverage and help optimize Maxim’s asset management systems and data infrastructure—including our loan servicing platform and Precision Loan Management (PLM) system to ensure accurate, real-time tracking of portfolio metrics, covenant compliance, and borrower reporting obligations.
• Partner closely with Maxim’s loan servicer and serve as a power user of PLM, working to extract, interpret, and act on data across the portfolio; develop reporting tools, dashboards, and analytical frameworks that translate data into actionable insights.
• Identify opportunities to leverage PLM data to build scalable business tools and workflow automation—including loan monitoring alerts, borrower compliance trackers, maturity dashboards, and investor reporting templates that drive operational efficiency.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive workflows and partner with the broader team to implement scalable process improvements.
• Support the onboarding and integration of new technology solutions to enhance monitoring, analytics, and overall asset management capabilities across the platform.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Originations, Fund Accounting, Investor Relations, and Legal on ad hoc projects, fund-level reporting, and firm-wide initiatives.
