About the Firm:

J Harlan Group, LLC is a private investment firm with $1.4B AUM that provides debt capital to small and mid-sized non-sponsored businesses in the U.S., unconstrained by industry or financing assets. They work directly with management teams to grow their companies and build lasting value while providing downside protection to their investors and supporting their borrowers with tailored capital solutions.

The firm's investment funds deliver senior-secured, short-term funding to companies that have quality operations, assets, and strong profit opportunity, but lack efficient access to capital. Companies choose this organization rather than utilizing more traditional capital alternatives because they have a reputation for being responsive, decisive, and able to deliver on their commitments.

The firm operates like a private equity firm, offering a wide array of resources to their portfolio companies - above and beyond traditional lenders - and underwriting more efficiently and rapidly. They have a highly experienced team of investment professionals with deep investment and operating expertise.

They seek candidates who are high-energy self-starters who want to join an investment management firm on the leading edge of financial markets. The management team needs individuals of the highest professional caliber who are leaders, problem solvers, analytic, detail-oriented, and entrepreneurial.

Successful candidates are:

  • Analytic and relentless in pursuit of the right answer.
  • Strong communicators who excel at rapid synthesis.
  • Able to demonstrate sound business judgment.
  • Able to digest complexity while maintaining an understanding of the big picture of business needs.
  • Team players who are energized by a collaborative enterprise.

The firm's employees maintain the highest professional and ethical standards. The firm has earned a reputation for honesty, fair dealing, and transparency in a competitive industry. They believe that these standards are the foundation for superior investment performance and are critical to delivering performance to clients.

Salary Range: The salary range is $175,000 - $225,000 plus employees may also be eligible for annual discretionary incentive compensation. Actual compensation within that range will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications, location, and applicable laws.
