The firm is looking for a Senior Business Development & Investor Relations Manager to join its London team. This is a front-line, execution-focused role for a candidate with 5-10 years of experience in hedge funds, private equity, or venture capital. The successful candidate will be the face of the firm to the professional investment community, leveraging their network to build lasting relationships and drive capital into its new and existing funds.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive Fundraising: Identify, target, and secure commitments from new investors, focusing on family offices and HNWIs in the UK, Middle East, and US.
• Own Investor Relations: Build and maintain deep, trust-based relationships with the firm's investor base, acting as their primary point of contact and ensuring they are always informed and engaged.
• Lead Strategy & Execution: Manage the IR Analyst, develop the firm's marketing strategy, and lead the transition of existing investors to the new Cayman fund.
• Be the Firm's Brand Steward: Collaborate on creating compelling pitch decks and thought leadership content, and represent the firm at key industry events.

Candidate Profile

• Connected & Credible: The ideal candidate has a strong, verifiable network within the London investment community and 5-10 years of relevant experience.
• A Deal-Maker: They are driven by results and have a proven track record of fundraising and building investor relationships.
• A Storyteller: They can articulate complex investment strategies (especially long/short equity) with clarity, confidence, and enthusiasm.
• An Entrepreneur: They are proactive, self-sufficient, and motivated by the idea of building something significant. They thrive on competition and performance.

Why Join?

• Compelling Narrative: Join a fund with a demonstrable track record of outperformance and a unique market position.
• Growth & Impact: Play a critical leadership role in a pivotal moment (a new fund launch) and have contributions directly impact the firm's success.
• Entrepreneurial Culture: Work in a flat, dynamic environment with a talented and driven investment team.
• Performance-Led Rewards: Be compensated for success with a competitive package that includes significant performance-based incentives.
