About the Role
Fortress is seeking a Surveillance Officer within the asset management division of its Asset-Based Credit Group within the Credit Funds business. The Asset-Based Credit Group focuses on a broad mandate of investment opportunities across the capital structure in the specialty finance sector including consumer finance, commercial finance and other contractual cash flowing receivable assets. The team generally concentrates on lending against and acquiring assets originated by companies across these sectors. The investment model emphasizes deep industry and asset class specific research along with substantial data analysis as a backdrop to formulating opinions on attractive transactions and deal structures.

The Surveillance Officer will join our New York office (in-person) and will be involved in pre-closing due diligence work as well as regular post-closing surveillance audits on closed transactions. Note: This role requires extensive travel. The ideal candidate will be able to travel 80% of the time with most travel being domestic. However, some international travel may be required.

Responsibilities:
Primary responsibilities shall include conducting regular forensic surveillance audits on closed transactions to ensure compliance with legal documents and adherence to counterparts' underwriting guidelines as well as participating in upfront due diligence with counterparts on potential transactions. This includes planning the engagement with internal team members and counterparts, developing standard procedures for each counterpart, conducting fieldwork reviews and reporting findings in both oral and written reports to internal management. The role will also involve reviewing historical portfolio data for use in future due diligence reviews and identifying adverse trends which may be indicative of potential collateral problems.

Requirements:
The ideal candidate will be a hardworking, detailed oriented person who is both vigilant and diligent and has superior oral and written communication skills with an understanding of the financial due diligence process.

Recent college graduate with an accounting degree or two (2) years of experience in the following industries: accounting, banking or rating agency work and knowledge and experience with consumer finance or asset backed securities.
The base salary range for this position is expected to be between $90,000 and $150,000

The base salary range proposed for this role has been set forth to comply with local law, but salary is only one element of the total compensation for this role. The base salary range suggested above does not include compensation elements such as bonuses, overtime and deferred cash (each of which are applicable in certain roles), benefits, perquisites, and company contributions to employee 401(k) accounts. Such other pay components often result in total compensation materially exceeding base salary for a particular role. Total compensation as well as base salary for a role depend in part upon individual performance, years of service, experience, geographic considerations, the performance and the needs of particular business units, company performance, and general market conditions.
