Job Description:

A well-capitalised and entrepreneurial lower mid-market private equity fund, focused on investing in profitable, founder-led and family-owned businesses across the UK and Europe. The firm specialises in complex deal dynamics β€” including succession planning, carve-outs, and professionalisation plays β€” with a hands-on approach to value creation.

The fund has a strong track record of delivering growth through operational improvement, strategic repositioning, and buy-and-build. As part of its thematic focus, the firm is scaling its activity in the Technology and Tech-Enabled Services space, and is looking to hire a high-calibre Investment Director to support this build-out.

The Role

  • The Investment Director will play a senior role within the investment team, working closely with the Partner leading the tech sector. You’ll lead on sourcing, executing, and managing deals across the technology landscape β€” bringing commercial judgement, relationship-building skills, and execution horsepower.
  • This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about the technology sector, thrives in a deal-led, fast-moving environment, and brings a strong track record in the tech/growth space.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the execution of the fund’s technology investment strategy alongside the Partner responsible for the vertical
  • Lead the origination of new opportunities across tech and tech-enabled businesses β€” including building founder relationships and thematic sourcing
  • Take ownership of end-to-end deal execution β€” managing diligence workstreams, coordinating advisors, leading modelling and valuation, and negotiating terms
  • Act as a day-to-day lead on portfolio companies, driving board agendas, tracking KPIs, and supporting growth initiatives
  • Contribute to internal strategy, pipeline development, and sector mapping
  • Act as a mentor to junior team members, supporting their development and execution capability

Candidate Profile

Core Experience:

  • 8–10+ years of relevant experience in private equity, growth capital, or M&A with strong tech exposure
  • Demonstrable deal track record in profitable, sub-Β£100m EV businesses
  • Strong financial and commercial skillset β€” able to assess business models, market dynamics, and value creation drivers
  • Solid exposure to deal execution, ideally leading workstreams or full deals end-to-end
  • Familiarity with the mid-market ecosystem (advisors, intermediaries, operators, consultants)

Ideal Attributes:

  • Credibility with founders and management teams
  • Comfortable in a hands-on, non-hierarchical environment where you roll your sleeves up
  • Genuine interest in technology and an intuitive understanding of how value is created in recurring revenue or digital-first models
  • Strategic and analytical, with the confidence to push a point of view internally
