Global credit asset manager with $24B AUM across private and public markets
Marathon is a 190-person credit-focused asset manager built around dual platforms: private credit (direct lending, asset-based lending, opportunistic strategies) and public credit (high yield, leveraged loans, CLOs, emerging markets). The tech stack is finance-conventional—Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, Bloomberg—with enterprise infrastructure (Azure, AWS, Salesforce) suggesting mid-market operational maturity. Hiring momentum is decelerating (7 roles in the last 30 days across 44 open positions), with capital formation and sponsor relationship expansion cited as primary operational friction points.
