Jobbeschreibung

Investment Director - Private Markets (Private Equity / Real Estate)

Join to apply for the Investment Director - Private Markets (Private Equity / Real Estate) role at Select Alternative Investments

Select Alternative Investments is a Direct Investment Platform that provides access to private market opportunities across Private Equity, Real Estate, and Venture Capital. We co‑invest alongside our investors and provide exposure to proprietary deal sourcing.

Unlike traditional private equity managers with dedicated asset‑class teams and an operational focus, we operate as a capital provider—partnering with best‑in‑class sponsors, developers, and managers to drive operational value. Our model emphasizes sourcing, structuring, and strategic control & oversight of private direct investments across the capital structure.

All investments are structured in‑house by our team of investment professionals located in Singapore, Zurich, Vienna, and Ho Chi Minh City.

To support our continued growth, we are looking for a self‑driven, senior investment professional to lead deal sourcing and execution, while maintaining oversight of portfolio investments in collaboration with our operating partners.

Tasks

• Deal Sourcing & Origination
  • Source proprietary investment opportunities via your network of sponsors, developers, GPs, and financial intermediaries.
  • Identify trends, sectors, and geographies aligned with the platform’s investment theses.
  • Initiate and maintain strategic relationships with co‑investors, developers, and other industry stakeholders.
• Underwriting, Structuring & Execution
  • Lead due diligence processes with internal and external advisors across legal, tax, and technical domains.
  • Structure investment terms across equity, preferred equity, and structured credit.
  • Present investment opportunities to the investment committee and drive transaction execution.
  • Coordinate with partners and stakeholders in Europe, the U.S., and Asia.
  • Actively participate in the capital raising process.
• Post‑Investment Oversight
  • Monitor the performance of portfolio investments, focusing on financial reporting, governance, and strategic milestones.
  • Maintain active communication with investment partners and participate in board or advisory committee discussions where relevant.
  • Support capital structure optimization, follow‑on financing, and exit strategy planning in collaboration with partners.
• Platform Development
  • Contribute to refining the investment process, playbooks, and internal reporting frameworks.
  • Mentor junior team members and support scalable team processes.

Requirements

• 8‑15 years of relevant experience in private equity, direct investments, structured finance, investment banking, or principal investing roles.
• Demonstrated track record of sourcing and executing private market deals—in the U.S. and/or Europe.
• Deep industry network within one or more verticals (e.g., real estate, industrials, software, etc).
• Strong financial modelling, structuring, and negotiation skills.
• Master’s degree from a leading institution, ideally in finance, economics, or business.
• Full professional fluency in English; additional languages are a plus.
• Comfortable operating independently in a lean, entrepreneurial environment with high autonomy.
• Strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and a hands‑on, execution‑oriented mindset.

Benefits

• Highly diverse and dynamic environment with joint teams spanning from Europe to Asia.
• Tremendous personal growth potential due to flat hierarchy and global scale.
• Opportunity to develop into a role with higher responsibility over time.
• Benefit from different locations (e.g., work in a vibrant office in Singapore, Vietnam, or Europe).
• Competitive compensation.
