Senior Investment Manager / Director (all genders)

The Investment Office of the Hasso Plattner Foundation

We are a small, high-caliber investment office managing the global, multi-asset endowment of the Hasso Plattner Foundation. Established by SAP co-founder Hasso Plattner, the Foundation has grown into one of Europe's most ambitious philanthropic institutions building and running initiatives in digital innovation, art, and conservation.

In the Investment Office, our mandate is to compound capital over decades to fund the Foundation's own philanthropic initiatives – Hasso Plattner Institute, Museum Barberini, Sabine Plattner African Charities, and more – into perpetuity. We allocate to funds and make select direct (co-)investments across public equities, leveraged buyouts, venture and growth capital, hedge funds, and real assets. We work with a long‑term horizon and genuine strategic latitude, not mandate-constrained execution.

This is a distinct world of work: lean team, high ownership, short reporting lines, and meaningful work that funds impactful institutions you can see and visit.

• 5-10 years of work experience in investment management
• Deep understanding of the entire lifecycle of an investment; fund investment experience is appreciated
• Excellent analytical skills and a structured working style with attention to detail
• Fluency in English is required, other languages are a plus. German is not required
• Integrity, discretion, and a strong moral compass
