The firm is seeking a Vice President to join its investment team. This individual will play a crucial role across the full investment lifecycle, from sourcing and evaluating new opportunities to executing transactions and supporting portfolio company growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Investment Origination: Identify, evaluate, and pursue investment opportunities across a broad range of industries, business models, and transaction types.
• Transaction Execution: Lead and manage all aspects of the deal process, including financial modeling, valuation, due diligence, structuring, and investment committee presentations.
• Investment Analysis: Develop differentiated perspectives on target companies, industry dynamics, competitive positioning, and potential value creation opportunities.
• Portfolio Management: Work closely with portfolio company leadership teams to support strategic initiatives, operational improvements, growth strategies, and long‑term value creation.
• Deal Leadership: Manage transaction teams, coordinate external advisors, and serve as a key point of contact for management teams and other stakeholders throughout the investment process.
• Strategic Contribution: Collaborate with senior investment professionals on investment strategy, pipeline development, and the continued growth of the firm’s investment platform.

Candidate Profile

• Experience in private equity, with a strong track record of evaluating, executing, and managing investments.

• Demonstrated ability to lead complex transactions and manage multiple workstreams in a demanding, high-performance environment.
• A broad intellectual curiosity and demonstrated ability to assess businesses across multiple industries, sectors, and investment themes, rather than a narrowly defined vertical.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage credibly with senior executives, founders, advisors, and investment partners.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial approach and the ability to operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.
• An undergraduate degree from a leading institution; an MBA or other advanced qualification is a plus.
