Role Summary

We are working with a leading global investment manager looking to appoint an Associate Director within its private markets business in London.

This is a highly visible role focused on the development of infrastructure and private debt products for institutional investors globally. Sitting at the intersection of investment, product and client strategy, the role offers significant ownership across the development and delivery of new products and bespoke mandates.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Lead the development and structuring of new private markets products and institutional mandates from concept through to launch
  2. Design fund and non-fund structures, including pooled vehicles, separately managed accounts, and bespoke mandates
  3. Partner with investment teams to translate investment ideas and client requirements into clearly defined products and strategies
  4. Provide technical expertise across vehicle selection, fund domicile, regulation, tax, legal, and operational considerations
  5. Lead complex initiatives involving stakeholders across investment, client-facing, legal, tax, compliance, risk, and operational functions
  6. Assess market developments, investor trends, and competitor activity to identify opportunities for new products and enhancements

Required Qualifications

  1. Significant experience in product development and structuring within asset management, private credit, infrastructure finance, or related investment banking
  2. Strong knowledge of debt instruments, credit structures, and financing solutions across infrastructure, private credit, or broader alternative investments
  3. Demonstrable experience structuring private asset products from initial concept through to launch
  4. Experience across both commingled funds and bespoke/non-fund structures, including separately managed accounts
  5. Strong understanding of legal, regulatory, tax, and operational considerations involved in developing institutional investment products
  6. Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with experience operating across investment, technical, and client-facing teams

This is an excellent opportunity to join a sophisticated global investment platform in a role offering significant ownership, senior stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to help shape the development of innovative private markets products.
