Lead Operator, Private Equity Technology

What it's about

You will be a part of the Technology vertical team within the Private Equity department of Partners Group, a leading global private markets investor. This role offers you the opportunity to shape Partners Group’s strategy for how to make the most of opportunities created by the rapid pace of technological innovations and disruptions. 
This role has three core responsibilities: 

• Thematic research & origination: Take leadership in thematic research into a specific technology or sub-sector to identity long-term structural growth trends, differentiated business models, potential outside executives/industry insiders and target assets. Lead teams of junior professionals (both investment and operating backgrounds) to develop a pipeline of investment opportunities resulting from this thematic research
• Institutional knowledge center: Develop long-term institutional clarity for PG in a particular technology or sub-sector through your thematic research efforts, supported not just by PG colleagues but also by outside experts (key industry executives and technologists) that you source and engage with
• Value creation: Implement Partners Group’s active ownership approach to portfolio company value creation, especially to drive technology initiatives that leverage your past experience and your ongoing thematic research. Work with portfolio company boards, management teams and PG colleagues to drive value creation
• In addition, you will work on all aspects of private equity investing - sourcing, asset selection, due diligence, execution, value creation and exits

 
The role allows you to have deep, positive impact on multiple stakeholders and to achieve multi-faceted professional growth in the process:

• By sharpening the investment strategy of one of the world’s largest private markets investment firms, you can impact multiple technology investee firms and help accelerate their journey to scale
• At the same time, you will be helping deliver strong returns to millions of ultimate beneficiaries – pensioners, tax payers – who invest in Partners Group through their pension funds, insurance funds and sovereign wealth funds
• You will have the opportunity to lead value creation efforts not just in the technology portfolio of Partners Group, but across its multi-industry and multi-asset class portfolio. In this part of the role, you will collaborate with high quality management teams from portfolio companies around the world
