Our client
Our client is the dedicated secondaries business of a leading global alternative investment manager, with a three-decade track record and one of the largest dedicated pools of secondaries capital in the market. The team invests across GP-led continuation vehicles, LP portfolio acquisitions and preferred/structured equity, backed by the proprietary data, sponsor relationships and balance sheet of a global multi-strategy franchise.
The opportunity
We are seeking an Associate to join the London team, focused on private equity secondaries across Europe. You will underwrite buyout and growth fund interests and continuation vehicles, working directly with senior investment professionals on live transactions from screening through to close. This is a seat with genuine runway: the team is growing, and the role is structured to develop into a full Senior Associate cycle.
