Head of Private Markets Research & Content

Managing Director level role


Location: London (with international travel)


IGA Talent are working with a well-established private markets advisory business looking to appoint a Head of Private Markets Research.


This is a senior role for someone who is genuinely passionate about private markets and enjoys developing views on what's happening across the industry, where it's going next, and what that means for investors. You'll be responsible for turning those insights into regular content, research and thought leadership while supporting the firm's growth and fundraising activities.


The remit is deliberately broad, combining thought leadership, market intelligence and commercial insight, with a particular focus on developing original perspectives on the evolution of private markets and communicating those views to the wider industry.


The role:

  • Act as the firm's leading voice on private markets, developing informed viewpoints on market developments, structural shifts and emerging investment themes across private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real assets
  • Produce a regular stream of high-quality written content, including a daily or frequent market blog, opinion pieces, investor commentary and longer-form thought leadership
  • Identify and analyse emerging trends, considering not only what is happening within private markets today, but what current developments may mean for investors, managers and capital raising activity in the future
  • Develop differentiated, opinion-led thought leadership aimed at investors, fund managers and market participants
  • Produce in-depth research outputs, including thematic papers, market reports and sector deep-dives
  • Work closely with senior stakeholders to translate market insights into content, client engagement opportunities and fundraising strategies
  • Support business development through sector intelligence, target identification and strategic insight
  • Undertake commercial and strategic due diligence on prospective fund clients, including assessment of strategy, track record and market positioning
  • Represent the business externally at conferences, roundtables and industry events, acting as a recognised and credible commentator on private markets


The profile:

  • Significant experience within private markets investment research, strategy, consulting or a related private markets environment
  • Deep understanding of private markets and a genuine curiosity about how the industry is evolving
  • Ability to move beyond reporting on events and instead develop thoughtful, evidence-based views on where markets may be heading
  • Exceptional writing and communication skills, with the ability to create compelling content ranging from short-form commentary and blogs through to detailed research papers
  • Comfortable producing regular content and building an audience through consistent market engagement
  • Commercially aware, with a clear understanding of how thought leadership and market intelligence support fundraising and business development activity
  • Experience of manager assessment and due diligence is beneficial
  • Confident operating in external-facing environments, including conferences, investor meetings and client settings


The opportunity:


This role will suit someone who is naturally curious about private markets, enjoys joining the dots across different sectors and strategies, and has a genuine passion for developing and sharing market perspectives.


It offers the opportunity to become the intellectual and public voice of a growing business, shaping how the firm is perceived by investors, managers and market participants while playing a meaningful role in client development, origination and revenue generation.
