Executive Search for Alternative Credit Investments
Recruiting investment professionals for alternative credit strategies in Europe and the US.
Our Firm
Kirtland Partners is a specialist executive search firm working with alternative credit investors to hire mid to senior level investment professionals in the European and US markets. We have a track record of successful placements across private credit, opportunistic credit, structured credit and liquid credit investment strategies. We differentiate ourselves by being research-driven, fast, technical and prioritizing long term relationships.
We focus exclusively on alternative credit strategies. Years of working within this narrow vertical have given us relationships across the full credit ecosystem—investors, bankers, lawyers and advisors alike. This network allows us to source and evaluate talent with speed and precision. We've helped investment firms build teams from scratch as they enter new asset classes, and delivered strategic hires for established platforms looking to strengthen their bench.
