We are working with a global alternatives investment firm managing ~$4.7B across public and private markets, focused on backing best-in-class emerging and established alternative asset managers
. The firm partners closely with managers across private equity, private credit, and hedge funds, providing both capital and hands‑on strategic support.

This is a true manager research / allocator-style seat
. The Analyst will sit on the investment team and be deeply involved in fund due diligence, manager underwriting, portfolio monitoring, and ongoing relationship management
. You’ll work directly with senior leadership and have exposure across the full lifecycle of fund investments.

• Conduct reference checks and qualitative manager assessments
• Source and evaluate new manager opportunities through a strong industry network

• 1+ years of direct manager research / fund research experience
• Background as an allocator or fund research professional (endowment, foundation, pension, SWF, OCIO, consultant, FoF, or alternatives platform)

• Strong qualitative judgment paired with solid analytical and writing skills

• Entrepreneurial, proactive, self‑starter mindset
