Role

LevPro, now part of Octus, is a modern operating system for Leveraged Credit asset managers, founded to modernize a $1.5 trillion finance sector where highly skilled professionals still populate spreadsheets from unstructured emails, manually match names to identifiers, and work off text documents. Clearly there’s a better way, and LevPro is here to help.

We use artificial intelligence (and a little magic) to solve a number of data, nomenclature, and workflow problems that have plagued this industry, resulting in a massively improved user experience. Our single code base allows us to iterate at a rapid pace (often multiple times a day), which also results in industry-leading customer response times.

Our platform has enjoyed strong adoption across the Alternative Asset industry, with many of our clients transitioning away from the legacy software they’ve been using for years. We’re looking to bolster our talented team with the addition of key strategic hires to support growth.
