London / Hybrid | Up to £115,000 + bonus + benefits
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.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of the marketing agenda within a specialist investment manager at an important point in its development. The business manages more than €1.3bn and has deployed over €1.5bn into more than 210 high-growth companies across technology, life sciences and impact-led sectors.
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.
The business is evolving from a single-strategy proposition into a broader private-markets platform, with future fundraises and new investment strategies planned. You will play a central role in shaping how the firm presents itself to institutional investors, founders, advisers, portfolio companies and the wider market.
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 LinkedIn 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, LinkedIn, email marketing, CRM and analytics.
- An understanding of operating within a regulated environment; experience across European markets, particularly France and Germany, would be beneficial
- 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.
- Annual team off‑site in Ibiza.
Package
- Base salary up to £115,000.
- Discretionary annual bonus, expected to be approximately 25% of base salary.
- Potential carry participation, subject to confirmation.
- Hybrid working in central London.
- 25 days’ holiday plus recognised bank holidays.
- Pension, private medical, dental and travel insurance, group life assurance and income protection.
