- Originate, build and deepen relationships with sovereign wealth funds, pensions, government‑linked entities, endowments, insurance pools and family offices.

- Advise on fund terms, structures, Islamic finance considerations and LP sequencing using real‑time market intelligence.
What you bring

- A developed institutional network across GCC sovereign wealth funds, regional and global pensions, government‑linked vehicles and sophisticated family offices.
- Strong command of private equity fund structures, economics, co‑invest mechanics and relevant regulatory frameworks in the region.
- Bachelor’s degree required; MBA and/or CAIA strongly preferred. Arabic language skills are a meaningful advantage.
