Key Responsibilities

• LP mapping and sequencing. Build and prioritise a global target LP universe across North America, Europe, the GCC and Asia.
• Process leadership. Run LP meetings, commercial and operational due diligence, and the path to first close.
• Co-investment. Support deal-by-deal co-investment syndication, which builds track record and LP relationships ahead of and alongside the fund.
• Manager standards. Advise on the reporting, governance and operational standards institutional LPs expect from an emerging manager.

All investor-facing activity will be carried out within the fund’s approved marketing framework and applicable regulation.

• A demonstrable record of raising for emerging managers (Fund I or II), including at least one fund taken to final close.
• Personal experience sourcing or structuring anchor or cornerstone commitments.
• Direct, current relationships with allocators who hold decision-making authority, not intermediary chains.

• A strong reputation, sound judgement and discretion.

Highly Desirable

• Relationships with institutional allocators across North America, Europe, the GCC and Asia, including public and corporate pensions, endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, fund-of-funds, and large and royal family offices.

• Relationships with investment consultants and gatekeepers who influence allocations to new managers.
• Experience with mid-market buyout, industrial, infrastructure services or special situations funds.

• Relationships with GP seeding, GP stakes or anchor capital providers.
• Co-investment syndication experience.

Why Churchill Partners

• A founding role in an institutional fund programme, with direct access to the Chairman.
• A live, partner-originated control pipeline in resilient, cash-generative sectors: real assets to show LPs, not only a blind pool.
