Help the team execute a busy pipeline and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns while creating strategic value for Mubadala.

• Investment Strategy: understand our growth mandate, market dynamics and Mubadala's position, and use this insight to assess companies, fund managers, markets and investment structures across different stages of growth.

• Deal Execution: support senior team members to execute transactions end to end – commercial, strategic and financial due diligence, financial models and valuation analyses, investment committee materials and transaction execution.
• Asset Management: monitor the existing portfolio, conduct performance reviews and prepare updates for senior management and investment committees, working with portfolio companies and fund managers on value creation – from strategic initiatives, business development and governance to ecosystem connectivity and co-investment opportunities.

• A minimum of 4 years of relevant experience gained in investment banking at a leading institution, growth equity, private equity, venture capital, corporate development or a related investment environment. [
• Very strong technical capability – financial modelling, valuation and the ability to review opportunities independently from day one.
• Prior experience evaluating technology companies or growth-stage investments, or managing investment portfolios in the UAE and MENA region, is highly advantageous; we welcome candidates from outside the region.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a demonstrated interest in technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
