  • Developing thought leadership and practice management pieces for the FIG deal team, including playbooks;
  • Collaborating with the global Portfolio Management Team (a separate group) to increase the effectiveness of our monitoring and support of the Equities portfolio;
  • Being an active leader and role model within the global VC team and broader Equities team, supporting offsites, conferences, and junior training and development.
    • Become a valued thought partner to the FIG deal team (and to direct investing deal teams more broadly), CEOs, their management teams and board members;
    • Created repeatable demand for yourself and the Value Creation Team from the FIG deal teams (and potentially other deal teams) and portfolio company management teams;
    • Supported diligence on selected new investments;
    • Ensured new investments are successfully onboarded and that comprehensive VCPs are put in place;
    • Helped build out the Value Creation Team’s approach across the global portfolio in conjunction with the Global Head of Value Creation;
    • Played a leadership role in developing our junior talent.
      • Broad experience within an operating company with product, P&L or general management responsibilities; or in a similar role at a private equity fund; or at a top-tier management consulting firm;
      • Significant exposure to and interest in the FIG sector (with a preference for meaningful experience in the insurance, lending or wealth management sub-sectors);
      • Demonstrated track record and experience in analyzing financial services businesses, and in both identifying and formulating a plan to unlock value creation opportunities in areas such as go-to-market strategy, lending solutions, product development, and capital management;
      • Strategic and flexible problem-solving skills with a practical bias to drive impact;
