About The Position

The Transaction Services team sits at the heart of LMI’s investment activity—bringing new investments to life by bridging the deal-making world of our investors with the operational and accounting infrastructure that makes everything run. The team sits within LMI’s Finance team in the Global Investment Solutions Organization and is one of the more cross-functional and intellectually demanding corners of LMI’s operation, touching virtually every asset class and transaction type in the portfolio. Transaction Services enables the business of investing by providing deep expertise across deal structuring, technical accounting, valuation, capital management, derivatives, and accounting policy—spanning all asset classes. The team partners with investment professionals throughout the full transaction lifecycle, from due diligence and execution through ongoing financial reporting, and performs operational due diligence (ODD) on new investment managers to assess their operational readiness. The team delivers independent valuations for illiquid assets—including private equity, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure—using a disciplined and transparent framework. Transaction Services also manages LMI’s relationships with leading global audit and advisory firms, ensuring effective alignment on accounting and audit treatment for complex transactions such as consolidation, debt restructuring, derivatives, and securitizations. The function balances innovation with rigorous accounting integrity as investment structures grow more complex. As a Sr Analyst on the Transaction Services team, you will play a meaningful role in closing and onboarding private investments—spanning private equity, private credit, real estate, and structured transactions. You will engage directly with complex legal and financial documents, exercise judgment in interpreting transaction terms, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with investment teams, legal counsel, accounting, and external fund managers to ensure every deal lands correctly. You will also support our ODD program, giving you a window into how LMI evaluates and partners with asset managers across the market—including emerging managers working to institutionalize their operations. If you are looking for a role that builds deep fluency in private markets, sharpens your analytical instincts, and connects you to a wide network of investment professionals, this is a compelling place to grow. We work in a hybrid environment, balancing the energy of in-office collaboration with the flexibility of remote work.
