Apollo’s Atlas SP platform is a leading, high growth asset-backed finance business, with >$50bn AUM and >$50bn annual origination 3yrs after its founding. Atlas SP is the only large-scale warehouse financing and securitized products business operating outside the banking system.

The Role

Atlas is overseen by a team of 4 at Apollo. That team is responsible for the strategic oversight of the business: working with the Atlas SP CEO and Apollo Senior Leadership to: (1) set Atlas’ priorities, design the capital structure, the capital formation strategy, the business strategy (new asset classes, new products, position sizing) and the operating model; (2) execute on key strategic initiatives (big transactions, fundraises, strategic partnerships, restructurings, growth initiatives); and (3) ongoing portfolio management (reporting, financial planning). This role would be the middle role in that 4-person team, the “glue” helping drive outcomes and formulate strategy

Primary Responsibilities

• Serve as day-to-day execution lead across all active workstreams, coordinating junior team members and driving deal momentum from origination through close
• Prepare and present analysis on key strategic topics for senior leadership and other internal stakeholders
• Negotiate and execute transactions, including investments made by and into the business, with full accountability for diligence, structuring, and documentation
• Maintain regular engagement with key internal and external stakeholders — including investors, lenders, counterparties, and Apollo senior leadership — to advance strategic objectives and manage relationships
• Oversee recurring reporting deliverables and continuously re-underwrite the portfolio, ensuring alignment with business strategy and risk parameters
• Contribute to the formulation and execution of key strategic initiatives, including capital structure decisions, new asset class expansion, and operating model development
• Mentor and develop junior team members, elevating overall team capability and amplifying the impact of the platform

Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 6+ years of experience in securitized products banking, FIG investment banking, or a related structured finance discipline
• Deep understanding of securitized products, asset-backed structures, and related asset classes; desire to broaden proficiency in corporate finance and capital markets
• Proven ability to analyze and optimize structural features of transactions to enhance marketability while meeting the objectives of issuer clients
• Strong analytical and financial modeling skills with the ability to build and stress-test complex transaction models and present findings to senior audiences
• Established network of institutional investor, lender, and counterparty relationships; experience engaging at the most senior levels with key external partners
• Commercial acumen to balance firm risk objectives with transaction execution; ability to operate with a principal mindset across the deal lifecycle
• Nimble, “business builder” mentality — willingness to embrace change, flex skillset to the demands of the role, and grow with the platform over time
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills; able to synthesize complex topics and present with clarity to both technical and non-technical audiences
