Introduction
Andesite Partners has been exclusively appointed by a leading and highly established US private equity and growth equity platform to hire an Origination Associate into its European investment team. The firm has a long-standing track record investing across technology and technology-enabled businesses and is now looking to add a dedicated origination professional focused on identifying and developing new investment opportunities across Europe.
The Role
This is a highly sourcing-led position, focused on proprietary deal generation rather than pure transaction execution.
The successful candidate will:
- Map attractive technology sectors and subsectors across Europe
- Identify high-quality companies that fit the firm’s investment strategy
- Build relationships directly with founders, CEOs, and management teams
- Develop proprietary opportunities ahead of formal sale processes
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of prospective investments
- Conduct initial commercial and financial assessment of opportunities
- Present relevant companies and investment themes to the wider investment team
- Work closely with senior investors as opportunities develop

Requirements
We are looking for someone with approximately 2–6 years of relevant experience and a strong existing origination background.

Candidates should demonstrate:
- Genuine proprietary origination experience
- Strong European technology market knowledge
- Confidence engaging directly with founders and senior management teams
- Strong commercial judgment
- The ability to identify attractive companies and investment themes
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Candidate Backgrounds
Relevant backgrounds could include:
- Technology-focused growth equity
- Technology private equity
- Dedicated PE or growth equity origination teams
- Growth investing with meaningful sourcing responsibility
- Larger-cap private equity where the candidate has genuine proprietary origination exposure
- Selected technology-focused investment banking backgrounds where origination has been a meaningful part of the role
The strongest candidates are likely to already spend a significant proportion of their time mapping markets, identifying companies, approaching founders, and bringing new opportunities into an investment team.
Further information regarding the fund, investment strategy, and team will be shared with relevant candidates through the process.
