About Redding Ridge Asset Management

Redding Ridge Asset Management LLC (“Redding Ridge”) was established and seeded by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Apollo”) in 2016. Redding Ridge has assets under management of approximately $44.5 billion as of September 30, 2025. Redding Ridge’s primary business consists of acting as collateral manager for CLO transactions and related warehouse facilities in both the U.S. and Europe. Redding Ridge also provides structuring and advisory services to issuers across various asset classes. 

Redding Ridge’s Structuring & Advisory team plays a central role in managing Redding’s ~$44 billion of debt across broadly syndicated CLOs and senior unsecured bonds, while serving as the primary structuring partner to Apollo’s Private Credit and Asset-Backed Finance initiatives. Redding Ridge’s mandate spans Apollo’s 16 origination platforms, multiple issuance shelves, and a broad range of strategic partnerships. Since 2020, the team has helped structure and issue over $225 billion of rated debt. Our track record reflects our ability to combine deep structuring expertise across CLOs, ABS, RMBS, Corporate, and Fund Finance to consistently innovate and provide next-generation rated solutions, both public and private. We take a long-term, partnership-oriented view, and our success is a direct result of that approach. 

We are continually seeking structuring & execution professionals who want to accelerate their careers working on some of the most innovative and consequential transactions in a meritocratic, collaborative environment. Team members have the opportunity to grow alongside partner platforms and portfolio companies while gaining exposure to new asset classes and rating methodologies, guided by one of the most accomplished structuring teams in the industry. 

Primary Responsibilities

The Associate supports Apollo's global RMBS securitization platform across deal execution, analytics, and rating agency engagement, working closely with senior structurers, traders, and Apollo platform companies.

Analytics & Modeling 

  • Build, maintain, and automate Intex and Excel cashflow models for rating agency and internal scenarios, including waterfall mechanics and bond cashflow analytics 
  • Perform loan tape analysis: stratifications, data validation, and tape-to-tape diligence on designated collateral 
  • Run securitization arbitrage on market pools and maintain the arbitrage blotter 
  • Track securitization designated-loan performance, settlement, and diligence status; produce daily pricing runs to inform market risk 
  • Maintain market color database and transaction comp sheets to inform arbitrage inputs and structural calibration 
  • Prepare securitization structure reports for review by traders to inform pricing decisions on a daily basis or ad-hoc   
  • Maintain and optimize current pools slated for securitization 

Rating Agency & Documentation 

  • Run rating agency models to derive collateral assumptions and stress scenarios that inform structural decisions 
  • Prepare rating agency presentations and manage agency engagement through close 
  • Support documentation review and structural negotiation alongside senior structurers and counsel 

Marketing & Process 

  • Prepare investor marketing materials, roadshow decks, and pricing supplements 
  • Coordinate with banks, syndicate, and trading through pricing and closing  
  • Contribute to post-close surveillance and ongoing portfolio analytics 

Qualifications and Experience 

  • 3+ years of RMBS structuring experience; ideal candidates will have experience working at investment banks, or other RMBS issuers 
  • Proficient in Intex (dealmaker and calc) and Excel cash flow modeling, VBA a plus 
  • Programming languages as a plus (C# and C++) 
  • Familiarity with various mortgage products, how they are modeled and their associated economics 
  • Working knowledge of agency methodologies across RMBS  
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to present complex information clearly 
  • Highly organized with strong time management; proven ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously under tight deadlines

  • Intellectually curious, detail-oriented, and receptive to constructive feedback

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
