Managing Director - Private Equity - Tech Growth Buyout
We are representing a leading European growth buyout investor seeking a senior technology investment professional to join its investment team. This is a senior direct investment role focused on sourcing, assessing and executing investments across technology, B2B software, financial software and FundTech markets. The successful candidate will bring strong investment judgement, clear risk assessment and the ability to contribute actively to deal origination through their network, sector knowledge and personal drive.
The role sits within a growth buyout strategy backing established, profitable, high-growth technology businesses. It is not a venture capital role or a portfolio operations role. The successful candidate will be expected to originate opportunities, lead transaction execution, contribute to investment committee discussions and work with management teams post-investment.
Key Responsibilities
- Source and assess new investment opportunities across technology, B2B software, financial software and FundTech.
- Build relationships with founders, management teams, advisers and sector specialists.
- Lead deal execution, including financial structuring, due diligence coordination and investment committee preparation.
- Assess target companies across market position, product quality, revenue quality, customer retention, scalability, competitive positioning and key investment risks.
- Develop investment theses across software, financial technology, asset management technology, private markets technology and adjacent financial services software markets.
- Work with portfolio companies post-investment on growth, M&A, international expansion and value creation.
- Represent the firm credibly with entrepreneurs, management teams, boards and senior advisers.
