International Private Wealth - Analyst (German-speaking) in London

Pantheon has been at the forefront of private markets investing for more than 40 years, earning a reputation for an innovative approach to investing in secondaries, co-investments, and primary fund investments, as well as capital formation across commingled funds, evergreen vehicles and customized solutions. Our specialist investment capabilities span multiple strategies across private equity, infrastructure and real assets, and private credit. Through our collaborative and committed culture, we find new ways to solve complex problems together and deliver innovative investment opportunities across private markets. Pantheon currently manages approximately $82.3 billion in AUM across all its strategies, serving more than 750 institutional and 638 private wealth clients worldwide.

Purpose of Position

Reporting to the Principal in the International Private Wealth team, which is part of the broader Investor Relations department, this is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the product development of new product initiatives and supporting business development activity across our international teams (ex. US). The role is to lead the research, analysis, and development of new and existing products for Pantheon’s private equity, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets strategies. Additionally, the successful candidate will have a key role to play in servicing existing clients and developing new business from existing and new relationships.

Key Responsibilities

• Client and prospect contact via face to face, mail, and phone (e.g. meetings, events, forums)
• Co-ordination, production and review of presentation materials, performance data, due diligence materials
• Support, co-ordinate and assist Relationship Managers with the day-to-day management of existing investor relationships as well as the investor activities within a specified region(s).
• Independently coordinate and support end to end RFP processes by collecting and preparing data and guide the RFP team as required
• Project manage product development initiatives, including both semi liquid evergreen vehicles, and closed-ended vehicles;
• Prepare, present and facilitate review and approval of business plans and other commercial/fund documentation to relevant Pantheon committees;
• Perform market analysis, competitor and product research relating to both existing and new products
• Establish and maintain relationships with teams across Pantheon as well as external service providers to produce and collate relevant and value add data and ensure both data and client/prospect activities are compliant
• Ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations and Pantheon policy (including reporting compliance risks and maintaining appropriate standards of conduct)

The role will be both internally and, after an extensive training period, also externally facing. While the externally facing part of the role will involve attending meetings, a material amount of this work will be internally facing (co-ordination with the Relationship Managers as well as marketing, operations, investment and legal teams) and much of the investor contact will be conducted by phone and email. The successful candidate will be results driven and is able to demonstrate a passion for product development and investor relations combining analytical as well as interpersonal skills with the aim to deliver an outstanding experience for the investor.
