Job description

Citi's Strategic Equity Solutions ("SES") Advisory business partners with leading alternative asset managers to develop and execute strategic capital and liquidity solutions across the private markets ecosystem. Working with sponsors across private equity, infrastructure, private credit and real estate, the Advisory team originates, structures and executes a broad range of transactions, including continuation vehicles, GP-led secondary transactions, NAV-based financings, preferred equity investments and other bespoke strategic capital solutions.
