Principal, Private Investment Grade

Apollo Global Management is seeking a Principal to join its Private Investment Grade (Private IG) team, part of the Global Investment Grade business, in New York.

The team focuses on the origination, structuring, underwriting, execution, and ongoing management of illiquid investments across developed markets. It operates with a format-agnostic mandate covering 4(a)(2) private placements, bilateral and club senior secured loans and forward-flow structures, infrastructure and project finance, and secondary purchases — all with the objective of earning excess spread over comparable public investment grade bonds for the additional complexity and illiquidity premium.

The Principal will lead origination, structuring, and execution, as well as portfolio monitoring on transactions for Apollo's funds, insurance balance sheets (including Athene), and co-investors. The role requires high technical ability, analytical rigor, and creativity in solving complex financing problems, alongside the judgment and presence to operate with minimal oversight.

In addition to deal work, the Principal is expected to lead the team's adoption of AI across origination, underwriting, surveillance, and reporting workflows, and to manage and develop junior team members as the platform scales.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a senior credit professional to work at the intersection of private placement markets, infrastructure finance, and insurance-linked investment strategies within one of the world's preeminent alternative asset platforms.
