Investment Director – Financial Services Private Equity recruitment
Our client is a well regarded sovereign wealth fund with an established private equity team and expertise in a number of sectors. This opportunity would suit a financial services/FIG specialist keen to lead new private equity investment into the sector and manage the existing financial services portfolio for the business. The plan is to invest both directly and indirectly through other private equity funds and this gives the role both a regional and a global focus.
Competition for the role is expected to be fierce and therefore the successful candidate will have to possess the following:
- Financial Services Sector expertise and a track record that includes making and managing direct investments in the Sector for a private equity or principal investment business.
- An interest in/experience of investing in the GCC and wider MENA Region.
- The ability to originate deals and appraise those introduced by others.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to be the voice of the Financial Services Sector both internally and externally.
- Strong leadership and transaction execution skills.
Whilst investment banking experience would be extremely useful only those who have also operated in a private equity or principal investment capacity can be considered as it is essential that the selected individual has 'lived with' his or her investments.
Interested candidates are respectfully requested to submit their CV in word format.
