Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

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 — including succession planning, carve-outs, and professionalisation plays — 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 — 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 — including building founder relationships and thematic sourcing
• Take ownership of end-to-end deal execution — 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-£100m EV businesses
• Strong financial and commercial skillset — 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
