You will take a leading role in sourcing, evaluating, executing, and managing investments. You will work closely with senior leadership and portfolio management teams, gaining exposure across a diverse range of industries and deal types before building into your own specialism.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead day‑to‑day deal execution: financial modelling, valuation, due diligence, investment papers, and process management.
  • Drive origination efforts and build relationships with advisors, founders, and management teams.
  • Take ownership of portfolio company value creation initiatives, including growth strategy, operational improvements, and buy‑and‑build execution.
  • Manage junior team members and contribute to team development.
  • Support fundraising and investor communications when required.

We're interested in people who have:

  • Ideally between 5-8 years' experience in Private Equity or M&A Investment Banking.
  • Strong deal execution experience with a track record of closing transactions.
  • Excellent financial modelling and commercial analysis skills.
  • Confident communication style and the ability to present investment theses clearly.
  • A proactive, low‑ego mindset and genuine passion for investing.

Why Join?

  • Because you will have broad sector exposure with the ability to lead deals from day one.
  • High autonomy and backing to move into your own market vertical.
  • Direct access to senior partners and decision‑making.
  • Strong performance-based compensation and carried interest.
  • A collaborative, entrepreneurial culture with room to grow.
