We are working on a confidential mandate for one of the most established and respected private markets platforms in the world. The firm manages over $100bn in assets and has been a leading force in secondaries for more than four decades. We are not naming it here — but if you work in private equity or investment banking, you will know it well.
This is a rare opportunity to join the London-based PE Secondaries team as an Investment Associate.
The secondaries business is one of the most active globally — executing LP portfolio acquisitions, GP-led continuation vehicles, and complex structured liquidity solutions across strategies and geographies. Transactions typically range from $50m to $1bn+. The platform is growing, with new strategies being added that reflect where the secondaries market is heading next.
You will work across the full transaction lifecycle, supporting:
→ Evaluation and execution of LP and GP-led secondaries transactions
→ Financial modelling, portfolio analysis, and valuation of underlying PE assets
→ Due diligence on funds, portfolios, and sponsors
→ Transaction structuring and investment committee materials
→ Portfolio monitoring and performance reporting
→ Collaboration with senior investment professionals across global offices
Who we are looking for
→ 2–3 years in investment banking, private equity, or secondaries
→ Strong financial modelling and analytical skills
→ Exposure to PE funds, portfolio analysis, or complex transactions preferred
→ Strong academic background from a leading university
→ Detail-oriented, motivated, and comfortable in a fast-paced deal environment
Why this opportunity
→ A brand that genuinely opens doors — this firm is a market leader and that follows you through your career
→ Unmatched deal flow from one of the deepest GP relationship networks in the industry
→ A platform actively expanding into new strategies — join now and grow with it
→ Strong internal promotion culture — a significant proportion of senior professionals started as juniors here
→ London as a core hub for European deal activity, connected to a truly global platform
