Job description

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
