Evaluating the Right Move

Understand whether a position supports a management company, individual funds, portfolio companies or the investment team itself. Consider reporting lines, fund complexity, long term progression and compensation structure.

Understanding the mandate, reporting structure and long term fit matters as much as the job description. Our conversations focus on the type of institution, responsibilities and professional direction that make sense for your background.

Private Equity Career Insights

How Private Equity Platforms Differ

A role at a buyout fund can be very different from the same title at a growth equity investor or a firm focused on smaller companies. Examine how the platform creates value, whether the position sits within the management company, an investment fund or a portfolio company, and how investment and operating teams collaborate.

Questions Worth Asking

How involved will you be in diligence, portfolio monitoring, fundraising or operational improvement? How are responsibilities divided between investment professionals, fund finance, investor relations and portfolio operations? How does fund size, stage and ownership structure influence promotion and compensation?

Ramax can help you evaluate the responsibilities and organizational setting of a potential move in a confidential conversation. Specific opportunities depend on current client mandates and fit.

Current Opportunities and Confidential Searches

The positions posted on the Ramax Job Board are genuine opportunities. The board does not include every search we are conducting for our clients. We work across levels of seniority and some mandates are handled confidentially rather than advertised publicly.

If you have a particular type of position, organization or career progression in mind, we welcome a confidential inquiry. We can discuss your experience and interests without suggesting that any specific position is currently open.
