What you will do

The Fund Operations team is a unit within PGIM Private Capital responsible for the financial oversight and reporting of multiple credit fund strategies. Currently, the team is responsible for five mezzanine funds, two mezzanine energy funds and two Direct Lending fund complexes (and associated separate accounts).
