Company name: Apogem Capital
Location Designation: Hybrid - 4 days per week
For the Associate, the seat is uncommon in what it combines: direct investment work, breadth across a wide cross-section of middle-market PE, and the perpetual nature of GP Stakes positions. You see how firms are built - fundraising, investing, retention, succession - and stay close enough, long enough, to understand what actually drives the outcomes.
Where you'll spend time:- Deals. You sit alongside the senior team on active diligence - banked processes and proprietary opportunities. You lead the model, run market and competitive work, join management calls, and draft IC materials.
- Pipeline. Direct outreach to target GPs and intermediaries, often through the broader Apogem network, and supporting senior team outreach end to end.
- Research. Studying firms in our universe and the segments they operate in - where returns are actually coming from in middle-market PE, which strategies are working, and how we sharpen our framework for evaluating sponsors.
- Wearing multiple hats. We're a small team. A modest share of any given month - usually around 10% - is ad hoc work across valuation, LP reporting, or fundraising.
On AIAI makes a lot of the day-to-day faster, which means more time on the work that actually compounds - meeting GPs, building views, joining the investment debate. We expect heavy use of the tools and rigorous review of their output - enough to spot what's off, understand what was done, and not pass anything through you can't stand behind.
What You'll Bring:- Curiosity. Wants to understand sponsors and the firms they've built. Enjoys getting in the weeds on the underlying portfolio - every diligence brings a different set of industries and business models. Asks the questions partners aren't volunteering.
- Persistence. Drives hard problems to closure. The work runs on long cycles - sourcing relationships, multi-month diligences - and goes to people who don't lose the thread.
- Sharp judgment. Especially when handling confidential and sensitive information. The role places trust early.
- Clear communication. Concise, both written and verbal.
- Technical foundation. Advanced Excel and PowerPoint, financial modeling, investment valuation, and familiarity with PitchBook / Preqin / CapIQ.
- Required: 2 to 4 years of post-graduate experience in private equity, investment banking, M&A, leveraged finance, or consulting.
