We are partnering with a leading global alternative investment firm to hire a German-speaking Senior Associate or Investment Manager for its Hamburg-based DACH private equity team.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a highly active middle-market investor with a global platform, and, critically, to step in at the very start of a freshly raised fund, with substantial dry powder ready to deploy across the German-speaking region.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass alle Ihre Bewerbungsunterlagen aktuell und in Ordnung sind, bevor Sie sich für diese Stelle bewerben.
The Opportunity, Timing
The successful candidate will hit the ground running on a recently closed, oversubscribed €1+ billion European lower-middle-market fund, one of the most in-demand vehicles of its 2026 vintage.
With a large pool of committed, uninvested capital, this is a rare chance to be involved in shaping a portfolio from the outset rather than inheriting a mature book.
Expect a high volume of live deal activity, immediate deployment pressure, and the visibility that comes with building a fund's track record from day one.
- The Firm
- A leading global alternative investment firm managing approximately $75 billion of capital, with a clear focus on the middle market and a 30+ year track record.
- Over 500 investment professionals across 18+ offices spanning North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.
- One of the most active investors in its segment, having backed more than 400 companies since inception, with a current portfolio generating combined sales in excess of $50 billion.
- A deep European franchise with 150+ investment professionals and a 19-year regional track record, anchored by the recently closed €1.6 billion European lower-middle-market fund (final close January 2026, above target).
- Additional firepower across the platform, including a newly raised small-cap buyout strategy and a $5.9 billion middle-market direct-lending fund, giving the DACH team flexible capital and cross-strategy deal support.
- A hands-on, operationally focused value-creation model, specialising in management buyouts, carve-outs, recapitalisations, growth investments, and complex or under-managed situations.
The Role
- As a Senior Associate or Investment Manager on the DACH middle-market team, you will be at the centre of deal origination and execution across German-speaking markets, working directly with senior dealmakers on a fund with significant capital to put to work.
- Lead financial modelling, LBO analysis, and valuation on new investment opportunities.
- Coordinate and manage due diligence workstreams alongside advisors and management teams.
- Prepare investment committee materials and support transactions end-to-end.
- Assess corporate carve-outs, buy-and-build opportunities, and complex transaction dynamics.
- Work closely with portfolio company management on value-creation and operational initiatives post-close.
Your Profile
- Fluent German and English (fluent German is essential).
- A strong pedigree from a top-tier strategy consultancy (MBB preferred) or a Tier 1 investment bank or private equity firm.
The team's own background spans Mc Kinsey, Bain, and Roland Berger.
- Typically 4 to 7 years of relevant experience in PE, IB, or strategy consulting, with the level (Senior Associate or Investment Manager) calibrated to experience.
- Excellent analytical, financial modelling, and commercial skills, with strong attention to detail.
- An entrepreneurial, ownership-driven mindset and the resilience to thrive on complex deals.
- Why This Role
- Join at the ground floor of a freshly raised fund, deploying fresh dry powder into new platform investments rather than managing a legacy portfolio.
- Direct exposure to complex, high-impact middle-market transactions from day one.
- A lean, high-performing DACH team backed by the resources of a global platform spanning private equity, growth, and direct lending. xayajpt
- Genuine responsibility and accelerated progression within one of the most active investors in the mid-cap space.
