The Opportunity

An ambitious, high-growth Private Equity fund is seeking a senior investment professional (VP level or above) to join its expanding team, focused on growth and buyout investments in the software sector.

Despite being a relatively new platform, the firm has already built significant momentum, having closed multiple high-quality investments and established itself as a disciplined, founder-focused investor in the technology space. With substantial capital to deploy and a clear, differentiated strategy, this is a unique opportunity to join at a pivotal stage of the firm’s growth.

The successful candidate will play a key leadership role in originating, executing, and managing software investments, while contributing to the development of the platform and long-term value creation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of the investment process, from origination to execution, working closely with the founding partners and broader team.
• Develop and maintain relationships across the founder, advisor, and investor ecosystem to drive proprietary deal flow.
• Conduct in-depth sector research and lead thesis-driven sourcing efforts, with a particular focus on high-growth software and B2B technology businesses.
• Oversee complex financial modelling, investment analysis, and deal structuring to support sound investment decisions.
• Represent the firm at board level and work closely with management teams post-investment to drive growth and value creation.
• Provide mentorship and leadership to junior team members, fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture.
• Act as an ambassador for the firm within the broader technology and investment community.

Candidate Requirements

• A proven track record in growth equity, private equity, or buyouts, with specific experience in software and B2B technology investments.
• Demonstrated ability to source, execute, and manage investments in high-growth software businesses.
• A strong network across the technology ecosystem, including founders, advisors, and intermediaries.
• Deep understanding of software business models, SaaS metrics, and the dynamics of scaling technology companies.
• Strong deal execution capabilities, including negotiation, structuring, and due diligence leadership.
• Experience acting as a trusted partner to management teams and driving operational improvements post-investment.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable operating in a lean, fast-paced environment.
• A team-oriented leadership style and a passion for developing junior talent.

Ideal Background

• VP, Director, or Partner-level experience at a growth equity, private equity, or technology-focused investment firm.
• Prior operational, strategic, or founder exposure within software or technology businesses is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong academic credentials from a leading university or institution.
