Head of Marketing Communications - Private Markets Boutique

A high-growth European private-markets firm is seeking an ambitious VP-level marketing professional ready to step up into a broad, high-impact Head of Marketing & Communications role.

The opportunity

Reporting to the CFO & Operating Partner, you will be the senior marketing lead in a lean, entrepreneurial platform.

This is a genuinely hands‑on position, combining strategic ownership with practical delivery-ideal for someone currently at VP, Senior VP or equivalent level who wants the remit, visibility and accountability of a Head of function.

Responsibilities

• Own and deliver the firm's marketing and communications strategy, aligned to fundraising, brand development and future strategy launches.
• Develop investor-facing materials including presentations, case studies, credentials documents, website content and campaign assets.
• Drive thought leadership, transaction announcements, portfolio communications, press releases, newsletters and Linked In activity.
• Coordinate the marketing workstream for fundraising activity and key external milestones.
• Support go-to-market planning for new investment strategies, including proposition development, messaging, launch materials and channel planning.
• Build brand presence across key European markets, working with local partners, media, translators and event organisers where appropriate.
• Lead the website, SEO, email marketing, CRM data, analytics and broader digital channels.
• Manage external PR, content, design, digital, translation, research and events partners.
• Support high-profile events, investor engagement and relevant external conference activity.
• Ensure communications are appropriate for a regulated financial‑services environment, including financial promotions, fund‑marketing requirements and data‑protection obligations.
• Candidate profile

You will likely be a commercially minded, high-performing marketing and communications professional from private markets, alternatives, private credit, private equity, venture capital, asset management or a closely related financial‑services setting.

You will bring

• Experience marketing complex investment propositions to sophisticated external audiences.
• Exposure to fundraising communications and an understanding of what institutional investors need.
• Strong brand, content and communications capability, including excellent written English.
• A demonstrable external network across financial‑services marketing, agencies, PR, media and events.
• Experience managing third‑party suppliers, budgets and multiple concurrent priorities.
• A practical, sleeves‑rolled‑up approach alongside the confidence to influence senior stakeholders.
• Strong digital capability across websites, SEO, Linked In, email marketing, CRM and analytics.
• An understanding of operating within a regulated environment; experience across European markets, particularly France and Germany, would be beneficial

Why join?

• A genuine opportunity to move from VP level into a Head of Marketing & Communications role.
• Real ownership of a high‑profile marketing agenda, rather than a narrow execution remit.
• Direct access to senior leadership and broad exposure across investment, investor relations, portfolio management and operations.
• A fast‑growing, ambitious, entrepreneurial culture with a direct communication style.
• The chance to help build the firm's deal brand, external reach and position ahead of future fund launches and additional investment strategies.
