Job description

About Marktlink Capital

Marktlink Capital is a Private Equity, Venture Capital and Private Income fund manager headquartered in Amsterdam. We give entrepreneurs and private investors access to leading funds across Europe and North America. Our team of more than 80 professionals manages over €3.5 billion in capital commitments from nearly 3,000 investors, committed across more than 150 PE, VC and Private Credit funds as well as numerous co-investments.

Marktlink Capital was founded just over six years ago and have achieved meaningful growth since then. Our entrepreneurship and values have helped drive that progress and continue to guide our ambitions for expansion both in the Netherlands and internationally. This is reflected in our core values: Ownership means taking responsibility for your work and seeing it through. Aim Higher, Move Faster means challenging assumptions, improving how we work and moving with pace without compromising rigour. Clients First means keeping investors’ long-term interests at the centre of every recommendation.

The role

As an Investment Associate, you will help turn investment opportunities into well-founded decisions. You will independently analyse funds, co‑investments and markets, challenge assumptions and present clear recommendations to the investment team. You will also help keep work moving after an investment committee decision, coordinating with colleagues across the business.

This is a role for someone who enjoys doing the analytical work but also wants to take ownership of the wider process. You will build your knowledge of fund managers, companies and investment strategies, contribute to conversations with them and help us spot opportunities worth exploring.

Concretely, you will:

• Own market maps and track developments across relevant sectors and geographies.
• Carry out independent analysis and due diligence on potential fund investments, including performance, strategy, team and risks.
• Assess co‑investment opportunities by analysing the company, market, valuation and deal terms.
• Build and review financial analyses, and turn your findings into clear investment recommendations.
• Participate in discussions with fund managers and other investment partners.
• Review the quality of analyses and investment materials before decisions are made.
• Coordinate post‑investment‑committee steps with internal stakeholders.
• Build productive relationships across the investment team and help improve how we assess opportunities.

Your profile

You have approximately 3–4 years of relevant investment experience, ideally involving fund analysis, due diligence or manager selection. You are ready to own a piece of work from the first question through to a recommendation, while knowing when to draw on colleagues’ expertise.

Additionally, you bring:

• Strong analytical skills and sound judgement about risk and return.
• The ability to explain complex findings clearly, in writing and in conversation.
• An understanding of investment terms and the commercial implications of fund documentation.
• The confidence to work with fund managers and colleagues across different teams.
• Attention to detail, initiative and a sense of responsibility for the quality of the final decision.

Why Marktlink Capital

You will join an ambitious investment organisation with access to a broad range of managers and strategies. You will have room to develop your own investment judgement, take ownership of analyses and contribute directly to the decisions we make.

What you can expect:

• Competitive salary and annual bonus.
• Significant responsibility from day one, flexible working hours and ambitious colleagues.
• Unlimited holidays: freedom and responsibility in equal measure.
• The opportunity to participate in our funds on favourable terms.
• Laptop and iPhone.
• Hybrid working, with the team working mostly from our Amsterdam office.
• A strong focus on personal development, learning programmes and an FD subscription.
• Office lunches, an annual paid ski trip and other social events.
