Senior Manager, Operations

About the role

At Setpoint Capital, we believe operational excellence is a core competitive advantage. Our Operations team plays a critical role across every stage of the investment lifecycle — supporting deals from close through ongoing portfolio management.

Setpoint Capital is looking for a Senior Manager to join the Operations team. Reporting to the Head of Operations, this is a senior role with significant ownership across the deal lifecycle. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving environment, and takes pride in building the processes that let a high-performing team scale.

Who will love this job

• A doer: You have a strong bias towards action and a “get it done” mentality.
• A systems thinker: You can map complex workflows end-to-end, identify where things break, and build processes that hold up at scale.
• A great communicator: You possess clear written and verbal communication skills, pay close attention to detail, and build strong relationships across teams and with external counterparties.
• A multi-tasker: You can manage multiple deals and operational workflows simultaneously and execute them reliably under tight deadlines.
• A problem-solver: You get to expert status quickly in new areas, understand what matters most, and drive issues to resolution.
• A process driver: You can pick up complex systems — legal structures, leverage facilities, custody workflows — and design repeatable, scalable solutions.

What you’ll do

• Lead pre-close operational diligence for new facilities, including KYC/OFAC, insurance, custody and servicing structure setup, data tape configuration, and cash controls.
• Manage post-close operations across the portfolio, including custody oversight, daily funding request review and approvals, and facility monitoring. 
• Determine the timing and sizing of leverage draws and paydowns across facilities; prepare borrowing bases and manage lender submissions in coordination with Debt Capital Markets.
• Run lien search and BPO refresh processes across the portfolio.
• Support enforcement actions and special situations, including servicer transitions and collateral control measures.
• Partner cross-functionally with Investments, Legal, Finance, and Debt Capital Markets on deal execution, renewals, amendments, and lender reporting requirements.
• Ensure portfolio and collateral data is accurately captured in internal systems, partnering with the analytics team to maintain reporting integrity.
• Coordinate technology onboarding for new facilities and contribute to process and product improvements with the Setpoint Technology team.
• Leverage AI tools to automate and improve operational workflows, reduce risk, and enhance team efficiency.
• Identify operational risks and inefficiencies; drive improvements that support scalability as the portfolio grows.

You should have

• 5–8 years of experience in operations, structured finance, credit, or asset management; experience in real estate finance or specialty lending strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with credit facility mechanics: borrowing bases, advance rates, eligibility criteria, concentration limits, and leverage partner reporting.
• Strong Excel skills; comfort with data and reporting tools (SQL or BI tools a plus).
• Ability to independently manage multiple complex workflows under tight deadlines.
• Clear, concise communicator; comfortable engaging across functions and with external counterparties (borrowers, lenders, custodians, servicers).
• High judgment and ability to operate with limited oversight in ambiguous or time-sensitive situations.
• Experience in a high-growth environment strongly preferred.
