Support investment due diligence, including fund, company, industry, and GP research

Engage with fund managers, sponsors, and management teams
Contribute to wider business-building initiatives, including deal flow and process improvement
Candidate Profile:
1–2 years’ experience in M&A-focused private equity or investment banking
Strong grounding in financial modelling, valuation, and corporate finance
Highly analytical with strong attention to detail and commercial judgement
Confident communicator, comfortable working with senior stakeholder
Motivated, proactive, and keen to build a long-term career in private markets
Exposure to secondaries or co-investments is advantageous but not required
Why This Role?
Exposure to secondaries, primaries, and direct investments within a single role
Opportunity to work within a globally integrated private markets investment platform
Access to high-quality deal flow and institutional-grade investment processes
Steep learning curve, early responsibility, and clear long-term career progression
