We are seeking an Associate Director to play a central role in developing and deepening relationships with mid-market Private Equity funds and translating those relationships into long-term, multi-service clients, across Funds, Transactions and Portfolio Companies.

This role sits at the intersection of relationship management, commercial strategy, market insight and firm-wide coordination. You will spend a significant portion of your time in the market working closely with the C-Suite of the PE firm, investment teams, value creation partners, management teams, plus internal partners and service lines to strengthen our position as a trusted adviser across the full Private Equity ecosystem.

This is a high-visibility role with genuine strategic influence.

• Coverage and market presence: Develop a wide external network through a regular cadence of PE firm meetings.
• Account management: Lead priority PE accounts, driving cross-service opportunities and positioning the firm as a trusted long-term adviser.
• People development: Line manage and develop more junior members of the team and support the development of Private Equity specialists across our firm, at all levels, including Director and Partner.

What we are looking for:

• Experience in a client-facing, commercially driven role within professional services, or Private Equity.
• Solid understanding of mid-market PE dynamics and the investment lifecycle.
• Demonstrable experience managing client relationships independently.
• Experience supervising or mentoring junior team members.

What we can offer you:

We recognise that our people are our most important assets. That's why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package that will help you have fulfilling experience, both in and out of work.

• 27 Days Holiday (with the option of purchasing additional days).
