Executive Director / Managing Director

About the job Engagement: Full-time · Based in the DIFC (candidates ideally resident in the GCC or prepared to relocate to Dubai) About the company Company is a diversified investment platform operating across private and public markets. What was once a focused manager has, over recent years, grown into a multidisciplinary firm with meaningful presence across several complementary business lines – an expansion supported by significant investment in senior talent and infrastructure. Underpinning the platform is a highly experienced in-house investment team covering both public and private asset classes, enabling a broader and more sophisticated range of client solutions than most peers can offer. Company is also a Category 2A-licensed entity – a sought-after authorisation held by relatively few firms - which further reinforces the strength and credibility of the platform. Their platform today spans: • Venture Capital Secondaries — We advise on single-company and fund secondary opportunities, underpinned by long-standing relationships with Tier 1 general partners across the United States, Europe, and Asia, and access to an extensive and active network of limited partners. We are additionally establishing our own SPVs, through which company acts as Fund and SPV Manager, investing directly in companies we believe hold exceptional return potential. • Asset Management — Our asset management division runs conviction-led equity strategies across Indian and global markets: India — Two India-focused funds: the Investment Opportunities Fund, a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) spanning pre-IPO opportunities, late-stage disruptors, and growth-stage companies alongside selected listed equities; and the Global Opportunities Fund, a Singapore-domiciled Variable Capital Company (VCC) backing India's high-growth sectors and companies at critical inflection points. Global — The High Conviction Equity AMC, a geography-agnostic global equity strategy that applies a private-markets lens to public equities — using PE/VC pricing and deal insight to target mispriced, undervalued businesses with durable fundamentals. Open-ended with daily liquidity, offered in collaboration with J.P. Morgan as issuer, administrator, and custodian • Structured Products — A significant and growing franchise in which we serve as a market aggregator for a broad network of external asset managers, with deep connectivity across the principal issuers and banks in the market. • Cash Bond Broking — A dedicated fixed-income broking desk and team. • Placement Advisory — A newly established capability, staffed by senior professionals with extensive experience raising capital from leading family offices, sovereign wealth funds, institutions, and banks across the GCC and Europe.
