Head of Capital Formation / Partner - Institutional & Private Wealth Capital • Geneva
Own the fundraise. Build the investor franchise. Earn your seat at the table.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A London-headquartered institutional private equity firm is appointing a Head of Capital Formation / Partner to build and lead its investor relations and fundraising function. Reporting to executive leadership, you will own the entire capital formation strategy — from LP targeting and roadshow execution to final close.
This is a mandate for someone who has already built or led a fundraising capability — at a fund, placement agent or private bank — and wants to do it again at a platform where the economics are real and the path to partnership is defined. If you have been a Head of IR, Head of Distribution, Head of Institutional Sales, Head of Private Wealth, or held a comparable leadership role, this is your opportunity.
WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
Institutional Leaders:
* Heads of Institutional Sales, LP Relations or Capital Development at PE firms, hedge funds or alternative asset managers
* 15+ years in institutional fundraising with 5+ at a senior leadership level
* Established relationships across pension funds, sovereign wealth, endowments and fund-of-funds
* Strong technical fluency with alternative fund structures and institutional compliance requirements
* Heads of Private Wealth Distribution, Family Office Coverage or UHNWI Origination at asset managers, private banks or placement agents
* 15+ years in capital formation across family offices, UHNWI and HNWI channels
* Deep, active LP network with a demonstrable record of unlocking capital commitments
* Ability to translate complex strategies into compelling, commercially effective narratives
Both Tracks:
* Entrepreneurial leader — has built or scaled a fundraising function, not just inherited one
* Executive-level communicator who can distil complexity for the most sophisticated investor audiences
* Exposure to DeepTech / AI themes advantageous but not essential — firm-supported learning available
COMPENSATION
* Market-leading base commensurate with seniority
* Performance-linked bonus tied directly to capital raised
* GP carry eligibility from appointment
* Defined and accelerated pathway to full equity partnership
