Purpose and Job Summary ORIX USA GP Solutions is a leading provider of strategic capital to middle and lower middle-market private equity sponsors. We deliver bespoke financing solutions across the full spectrum of GP Solutions transactions including single-fund and diversified NAV loans, preferred equity fund financing, fund securitizations, GP management company financing, and continuation vehicles. We have invested ~$700 million in over 20 deals in the past 36 months and are scaling rapidly as demand for NAV-based and GP-level financing accelerates across the private equity landscape.

Today, our team invests from ORIX USA's balance sheet with the expectation that our platform will expand to include third-party capital over time.
