We are always looking for driven, talented individuals who want responsibility early and are prepared to work to an institutional standard of analysis, documentation and conduct.
Credit Foncier International LLC operates a deliberately small, senior-weighted team. Work is not distributed by hierarchy alone: colleagues are given responsibility for real analysis early, and that analysis is reviewed carefully rather than accepted without challenge.
Integrity, innovation and excellence sit at the core of everything we do. We value diverse perspectives, we expect disagreement to be voiced during analysis rather than after a decision, and we hold every function to the same standard of documentation and conduct.
Applications are welcome from candidates at all stages of their career, including those seeking a first professional role in finance. We are equally interested in experienced practitioners who prefer a disciplined environment to a high-volume one.
Send your applicationThe criteria below apply to every discipline and every level of seniority.
We hire for analytical judgement rather than transaction count. The ability to explain a position clearly matters more than the ability to produce it quickly.
Every recommendation is written, referenced and defensible. Colleagues are expected to show their work and to accept challenge on it.
Responsibility is delegated early and supervised closely. Junior colleagues sit in committee discussions rather than hearing about them afterwards.
Commercial performance never outranks integrity, confidentiality or compliance. This standard applies uniformly across every function and seniority.
We recruit across six disciplines. Vacancies are not always advertised; speculative applications are reviewed on the same basis as applications to a named opening.
Sector research, financial modelling, counterparty assessment and preparation of committee papers across our target markets.
Structuring of facilities, milestone-based disbursement schedules, security packages and lender documentation for cross-border projects.
Counterparty due diligence, sanctions and AML screening, covenant monitoring and independent challenge to proposed exposures.
Ongoing monitoring of live exposures, reporting to investors, settlement oversight and maintenance of transaction records.
Relationship coverage, preparation of investor reporting, onboarding support and coordination of confidential enquiries.
Contract review, governance support, regulatory correspondence and coordination of corporate documentation.
Four entry routes, each with its own scope, duration and assessment criteria.
A supervised placement within a single discipline, working on live research, screening and documentation tasks. Interns attend committee discussions and present a closing piece of work to senior management.
Suits: Penultimate and final-year students, and recent graduates seeking first exposure.
Two rotations across analysis, structuring, risk or portfolio operations, with a formal training curriculum, an assigned mentor and a documented assessment at the end of each rotation.
Suits: Graduates with strong quantitative grounding and precise written English.
Direct entry into a discipline with immediate mandate responsibility. Scope, reporting line and review criteria are agreed in writing before joining.
Suits: Practitioners with transactional experience in credit, structuring, risk or legal work.
Engagements for sector specialists, technical assessors and counsel who support specific mandates. Engaged under the same conduct, confidentiality and documentation standards as employees.
Suits: Independent professionals with verifiable sector or jurisdictional expertise.
Positions marked speculative remain open to applications and are filled when the right candidate is identified.

The working practices colleagues can expect from their first week onwards.
Work is allocated by capability and capacity rather than by layer. Colleagues speak directly to decision-makers and receive feedback from them without intermediaries.
Decisions are recorded, assumptions are stated and sources are cited. This protects the firm, and it makes individual contribution visible and reviewable.
We work Monday to Friday, 09.00 to 18.00 Eastern Time. Transactions occasionally require more; sustained overwork is treated as a resourcing failure, not a badge of commitment.
Mandates span multiple jurisdictions and sectors. Colleagues are expected to become comfortable with differing legal systems, market conventions and counterparty profiles.
Client and investor information is compartmentalised. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis and audited, and the standard applies equally to interns and to senior management.
Colleagues have access to our financial education programme and to internal technical sessions on credit, structuring and regulatory developments.
Progression is structured and documented. Colleagues know what is expected of them and how performance is assessed.
A formal induction covering our approval framework, documentation standards, conduct policies and reporting obligations before independent work is assigned.
Every colleague is paired with a senior member of the team who reviews output, provides direct feedback and supports progression planning.
Continued instruction in credit analysis, structuring, regulatory developments and market conventions, supported by our financial education programme.
Participation in live mandates across sectors and jurisdictions rather than confinement to a single product line.
A documented performance review against written criteria, with objectives agreed for the following period and progression discussed openly.
Support for relevant accreditation and study, including scheduling flexibility around examinations.
Six stages, applied consistently. We aim to complete the process within four weeks of a completed application.
