Managing Director, Head of Market Structure & Platform Development – ACS

Position Overview

Apollo is a high-growth, global alternative asset manager providing clients with excess return across the risk-reward spectrum through yield, hybrid, and equity strategies.

Apollo's Alternative Asset Trading (AAT) group sits within Apollo Capital Solutions (ACS) and is building the foundational infrastructure for the private credit market. Public and private credit markets are converging, the $40T+ private credit market is scaling rapidly, yet the data, settlement, and workflow infrastructure underpinning it remains manual and fragmented. Apollo is leading the effort to change that.

We are seeking a senior leader to scale Apollo's market structure initiatives and commercialize the platform across the private credit ecosystem. This is a market structure and business-building role operating at the intersection of strategic partnerships, commercial execution, and operational buildout. The role reports to senior ACS leadership and interfaces broadly across Apollo's investment, trading, operations, legal, compliance, and senior management teams.

The role reports to senior ACS leadership and interfaces with Apollo's investment teams, trading desks, operations, legal, compliance, investor relations, regulatory affairs, and senior management.

Primary Responsibilities

ICE Private Credit Intelligence – Platform Ownership

• Own the Apollo side of the ICE Private Credit Intelligence partnership end-to-end: product development, data standards, go-to-market execution, and commercial strategy
• Build and manage the document supply pipeline with centralized, consistent, automated delivery of deal documents to ICE for data extraction
• Manage the transition of a securities master evolution from manual data entry to AI-assisted data validation reframing the workflow improvement role

Broader Market Structure Initiatives

• Lead Apollo's market structure strategy across the full stack of infrastructure required for private credit to scale; data standardization (ICE), index development, secondary trading infrastructure, and digital transfer and settlement
• Contribute to the continued evolution of Apollo's secondary trading capabilities, ensuring that data infrastructure, pricing transparency, and settlement innovation reinforce each other

Internal Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the primary interface between the infrastructure initiative and senior ACS/AAT leadership, providing clear reporting on milestones, adoption metrics, partnership status, and strategic decisions requiring escalation
• Coordinate across trading, portfolio management, legal, compliance, operations, technology, investor relations, and insurance (Athene) teams recognizing that internal adoption across these constituencies is as critical as external enrollment
• Translate between the language of markets (how traders and PMs think ) and the language of infrastructure influencing how platforms need to be built, governed, and commercialized

Qualifications & Experience

• 15+ years of experience in private credit, leveraged finance, or structured credit markets, with meaningful time spent in both investment/trading roles and operational/infrastructure roles
• Direct experience in portfolio management, trading, or origination of private credit assets; understand the asset class from the perspective of someone who has managed risk, not only processed transactions
• Demonstrated track record of building something from zero to one: a new business line, platform, or operational capability. This is a buildout role, not a maintenance role
• Strong commercial instinct with experience designing business models, incentive structures, or go-to-market strategies; comfort owning a P&L and managing the transition from investment phase to revenue generation
• Deep understanding of private credit operational mechanics: assignment agreements, settlement workflows, agent processes, and the full lifecycle from origination through secondary transfer and servicing
• Ability to hold external partners accountable while delivering on internal commitments
• Experience working with or across admin agents, custodians, fund administrators, servicers, and data providers; understanding the operational pain points at each node in the private credit ecosystem
• Experience with market structure development or infrastructure buildouts in adjacent asset classes (e.g., syndicated loans, CLOs, ABS); familiarity with LSTA protocols, ClearPar, LXID/CUSIP infrastructure, or similar market utilities strongly preferred
• Familiarity with data licensing and information services business models in financial markets
• Entrepreneurial, collaborative, and solutions-oriented with strong communication skills and high execution discipline; comfortable operating with significant ambiguity in a fast-moving environment
