Analyst, PT Administrative Services

About Us: Headquartered in Chicago, Performance Trust Capital Partners, LLC is an investment bank that combines Wall Street scale with the agility of an independent, employee-owned firm. We help financial institutions uncover overlooked opportunities, navigate complexity, and make decisions grounded in insight—not impulse. Our work is focused on long-term impact and relationships built on what matters most: trust and enduring performance.

About PT Administrative Services: PT Administrative Services (PTAS) supports our Capital Markets platform by providing high-quality administrative, agency, and post-closing support services for executed transactions. These services include paying agent and trustee coordination, reporting, covenant and document tracking, and related issuer and investor support throughout the life of a deal.

PT Administrative Services was established in 2020 to provide trust administration and agency services to loan transactions and financing structures underwritten by Performance Trust. In addition, PTAS provides custom reporting and ongoing surveillance on the deals we service.

This analyst will help generate recurring and ad hoc reporting, support closing and funding activities, coordinate investor onboarding and payments, and monitor ongoing deal performance. The ideal candidate combines strong analytical skills and attention to detail with an interest in structured finance and capital markets operations.
