This is a deal-focused group, and you will be expected to dig deep into every deal and understand the process from an investor mindset. In addition to deal-related work, you will be responsible for maintaining the team’s marketing materials, using data to create presentations for relationship managers and clients, preparing a quarterly market update on the co-investment sector, and various other work streams to build a foundational knowledge of the co-investment space.
