Job description

Leverton Search is partnering exclusively with a highly regarded, independent investment manager to appoint a senior leader for a new evergreen private markets offering.

With a long-standing reputation for thoughtful, long-term investing and a culture that people genuinely value, the firm is expanding its offering to private wealth investors. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a new vehicle, shape its development from an early stage and build a team as the business grows.

The role combines product, portfolio and commercial leadership. Working closely with investment, operations, legal and distribution colleagues, you will ensure the vehicle operates effectively, is clearly positioned in the market and develops successfully with clients.

We would like to hear from experienced professionals who have worked closely with evergreen, semi-liquid or open-ended private markets funds, whether through product structuring, fund operations or fundraising. A sound understanding of liquidity management, strong attention to detail and the ability to bring teams together will be important.

This is a build-and-lead opportunity rather than an investment selection role. It will appeal to someone who enjoys turning an idea into a well-run product and taking responsibility for its long-term success. An interest in sustainable investing would be valued.

Due to the volume of applications, we may not be able to respond to everyone individually unless your experience closely matches the requirements outlined above.

We are committed to promoting fairness and equity throughout the recruitment process. If there is anything we can do to make the process more accessible or inclusive for you, please let us know.
