UK Origination Professional - Direct Private Equity
We are seeking a UK Origination Professional to identify, develop and execute new investment opportunities across the direct private equity market. The successful candidate will focus on building a high-quality pipeline of opportunities, developing trusted relationships with business owners, management teams, advisers, intermediaries and other relevant stakeholders, and ensuring that potential investments are assessed against clearly defined investment criteria.
Responsibilities will include originating proprietary and intermediated opportunities, mapping target sectors and companies, maintaining detailed market intelligence, and proactively engaging with prospective businesses. You will lead initial discussions with shareholders and management teams, assess strategic and financial attractiveness, prepare concise investment summaries and coordinate the transition of qualified opportunities to the wider investment team. The role will also involve supporting transaction execution by contributing to due diligence, valuation analysis, investment papers and deal discussions, while maintaining accurate records of activity and ensuring a disciplined, well-managed origination process.
Applicants should have relevant experience in private equity origination, investment banking, corporate finance, transaction services, management consulting or a related field, with a strong understanding of UK lower- and mid-market businesses. A demonstrable network among business owners, advisers, corporate finance professionals and other market participants is highly desirable, as is a proven ability to generate and convert investment opportunities. You will need strong commercial judgement, financial and analytical skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and the confidence to engage senior stakeholders. The ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively with investment professionals is essential. A proactive, credible and entrepreneurial approach, combined with a high level of integrity and discretion, will be important to success in this role.
