Job description

Pantheon has been at the forefront of private markets investing for more than 40 years, earning a reputation for providing innovative solutions covering the full lifecycle of investments, from primary fund commitments to co‑investments and secondary purchases, across private equity, real assets and private credit.

We have partnered with more than 650 clients, including institutional investors of all sizes as well as a growing number of private wealth advisers and investors, with approximately $65bn in discretionary assets under management (as of December 31, 2023).

Leveraging our specialized experience and global team of professionals across Europe, the Americas and Asia, we invest with purpose and lead with expertise to build secure financial futures.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the collation and analysis of underlying investment fund and asset data as part of the team’s wider investment monitoring objectives. Assist in using this data to generate client and portfolio management update materials.
• Collaborate with IR on responding to client queries or diligence requests that relate to Investment Team activities.
• Curate content for portfolio review materials for client meetings and Investment team portfolio review sessions.
• Support the processes required to allocate investments amongst Pantheon funds, ensuring this is achieved fairly, equitably and in line with individual portfolio strategies.
• Support the creation of portfolio manager reporting at the Pantheon fund and underlying investment level. Respond to portfolio manager queries as needed.
• Support the creation and maintenance of fund financial models for all Pantheon fund types and structures, including traditional commitment‑based structures, open and closed‑ended evergreen funds. Models are maintained through the life of a fund to support active portfolio management and fund management decisions.
• Support the development of liquidity strategies for Pantheon funds to ensure that funds operate within acceptable risk limits whilst also maximising returns. Monitor the enactment of these strategies once in place.
• Working alongside internal and external teams, oversee the workflow management and reporting of deal pipelines, ensuring that Investment Teams have visibility on deal progress and access to the associated data as needed.
• Ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations and Pantheon policy (including reporting compliance risks and maintaining appropriate standards of conduct).

Knowledge and Experience Required

• Prior experience in a private markets’ role is required, ideally with exposure specifically to private credit as an asset class.
• Alternatively, candidates from strong financial backgrounds — particularly those with experience in the Big Four (e.g., within Transaction Services or Financial Services Audit) — are also encouraged to apply.
• Experience from within a financial modelling role is required. The candidate should understand the fundamentals and best practices of creating and maintaining models.
• Strong project management skills developed in fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environments.
• Previous exposure to providing support to portfolio managers and IR teams would be beneficial.
• Previous exposure to private markets asset allocation and portfolio construction processes would be beneficial.
• Experience of monitoring private market asset performance, cash flows and the associated KPIs would be beneficial.
• Motivated self‑starter.
• Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Good working knowledge of MS Office, particularly Excel. VBA / Python knowledge would be beneficial.
• Ability to manage own workload and prioritise delivery.
• Excellent attention to detail.

Pantheon is an Equal Opportunities employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t perfectly align we’d still encourage you to apply.
