Job description

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain target lists of prospective investors (family offices, professional investors, allocators, intermediaries).
• Research prospects to assess fit and identify the right contact/route.
• Segment and prioritise the pipeline by likelihood and relevance.
• Maintain accurate, deduplicated contact records.
• Run first‑touch outreach via email and LinkedIn to secure introductory meetings (objective: book a call, not pitch).
• Personalise messaging within approved templates while maintaining brand tone.
• Manage structured follow‑up sequences to prevent lead stalls.
• Schedule and coordinate intro calls between prospects and the principal; manage diaries, reminders, and rescheduling.
• Prepare brief notes on each prospect ahead of meetings.
• Own day‑to‑day CRM: log outreach, replies, meeting notes, next actions.
• Track pipeline stage and conversion; surface warm leads promptly.
• Maintain follow‑up cadence and produce a simple weekly activity and pipeline update for the principal.
• Assist with preparing and distributing fact sheets, decks, and other approved materials.
• Maintain and organise the data room—ensure only current approved versions of documents are sent.
• Coordinate and track document requests from prospective investors.
• Support general admin: scheduling, inbox and calendar support, document management.
• Support investor onboarding and coordinate collection of KYC/AML documentation; liaise with service providers and legal as directed.
• Keep files, trackers and records organised and audit‑ready.

Essential Qualifications

• Recent graduate with a degree in finance, economics, business, or a discipline paired with a genuine, demonstrable interest in markets and asset management.
• Excellent written English—clear, concise, credible.
• Eligible to live and work in the UAE (existing UAE residence preferred).
• Organised and process‑driven; able to run a clean pipeline and disciplined follow‑up without missing leads.
• Resilient and self‑directed; comfortable with high‑volume outreach and low reply rates.
• Detail‑oriented and discreet—precise with investor‑facing materials and inherently confidential with sensitive information.
• Professional communication style—credible and on‑brand; institutional register, not hard‑sell or influencer tone.

Desirable

• Baseline financial literacy: understanding what a fund is, roughly how a systematic strategy works, and the difference between a family office, allocator, and qualified investor.
• Authentic interest in systematic/quant strategies or precious metals.
• Familiarity with CRM tools, LinkedIn/Sales Navigator, spreadsheets.
• Prior outreach, sales, client‑facing or internship experience.
• Additional languages—Arabic or others relevant to the region’s investor base.

Attributes

• Hungry and proactive—viewing this as a real learning opportunity to understand how a fund raises capital.
• High standards and strong personal accountability.
• Long‑term mindset—genuinely interested in a permanent seat, not just a line on the CV.
