• New business growth: Identify and secure new partnerships with mid-market and large-cap private equity firms, managing enterprise-level deal values.
• Strategic account mapping: Identify key stakeholders across portfolio operations, technology, and investment teams to build multi-threaded relationships.

2. The industry professional: You have a background in private equity or a related advisory field and possess a strong commercial instinct alongside a deep sector network.

In either case, you will need:

• A hunter mindset with the drive to generate a pipeline from the ground up.
• The credibility to engage with Managing Directors, CTOs, and Heads of Portfolio Operations.
• A sharp analytical mind and a genuine interest in how technology is evolving within financial services.
• A disciplined approach to managing the sales process and maintaining accurate data.
