Select Alternative Investments is a Direct Investment Platform providing access to private market opportunities across Private Equity, Real Estate, and Venture Capital. We co-invest alongside our investors and focus on
**proprietary, relationship-driven deal sourcing**
rather than blind pool asset allocation.



Unlike traditional private equity managers with dedicated asset-class teams and an operational focus, we operate as an
**active capital partner**
. Our role spans origination, structuring, and strategic oversight, partnering with best-in-class sponsors, founders, and operators to drive value creation across the capital structure.



All investments are structured in-house by a globally distributed team based in Singapore, Zurich, Vienna, and Ho Chi Minh City.



To support continued growth, we are seeking a
**senior investment professional**
to take a leading role in
**European deal sourcing and execution**
, while maintaining high-level oversight of portfolio investments in close collaboration with operating partners.



**This role is designed for seasoned professionals who have built deals, not just managed portfolios.**


Tasks


**Deal Sourcing & Origination**




- Proactively originate private equity investment opportunities through personal network of sponsors, founders, GPs, advisors, and intermediaries across Europe.

- Drive deal flow generation independently, with sourcing treated as a core responsibility rather than a shared or secondary activity.

- Identify sector themes, consolidation opportunities, and structural inefficiencies aligned with the firm’s investment strategies.

- Build and maintain long-term strategic relationships with co-investors, operating partners, and capital providers.




**Underwriting, Structuring & Execution**




- Lead end-to-end transaction execution, including commercial, financial, legal, and tax due diligence.

- Design and negotiate investment structures across common equity, preferred equity, and structured capital solutions.

- Prepare and present investment proposals to the Investment Committee with full ownership of the investment thesis.

- Coordinate transaction execution with stakeholders across Europe and Asia.

- Actively contribute to capital raising discussions by articulating deal rationale, risk, and value-creation levers.




**Post-Investment Oversight**




- Oversee portfolio investments with a focus on governance, strategic execution, and value-creation milestones.

- Engage with management teams, sponsors, and boards at a strategic level rather than day-to-day asset monitoring.

- Support follow-on investments, refinancings, and exit planning in coordination with operating partners.




**Platform Development**




- Contribute to the continuous refinement of investment processes, sourcing playbooks, and internal decision frameworks.

- Act as a senior reference point for junior team members, providing mentorship grounded in real transaction experience.

- Support the evolution of the platform as a scalable direct-investment business rather than a traditional fund manager.



Requirements



- 8–15 years of relevant experience in
**private equity or principal investing roles**
, with a clear emphasis on
**deal origination and execution**
.

- **Demonstrated track record of independently sourcing proprietary deals**
; deal sourcing is a core requirement and not optional for this role.

- Strong preference for candidates with
**mid-market private equity experience**
, particularly in
**buy-and-build, roll-up, and consolidation strategies**
.

- Established
**professional network in Europe**
, with proven ability to originate transactions across one or more European markets.

- Experience working directly with founders, owner-operators, and sponsors, rather than purely allocating capital into third-party funds.

- Candidates whose background is limited to portfolio management or asset allocation without hands-on sourcing exposure are unlikely to be a fit.

- Strong financial modelling, structuring, and negotiation capabilities across equity and structured investments.

- Master’s degree from a leading institution in finance, economics, business, or a related discipline.

- Full professional fluency in English; additional European languages are a strong advantage.

- Comfortable operating autonomously in a lean, entrepreneurial environment with significant responsibility and accountability.

- Commercial mindset, strong judgment, and the ability to operate credibly with senior counterparties.



Benefits



- Highly diverse and dynamic environment with joint teams spanning from Europe to Asia

- Tremendous personal growth potential due to flat hierarchy and global scale

- Opportunity to develop into a role with higher responsibility over time

- Benefit from different locations (e.g. work in a vibrant office in Singapore, Vietnam, or Europe)

- Competitive compensation
