Head of Capital Partnerships

Job Title

Sinclair Ventures is seeking an experienced private capital executive to build and lead its Capital Partnerships function.

The role will develop and manage a durable network of family offices and institutional allocators capable of investing alongside Sinclair in selected lower- and middle-market private equity transactions.

Sinclair invests permanent capital and maintains full discretion over when and where it invests. Accordingly, the Capital Partnerships function is designed to support attractive Sinclair-led opportunities - not to create pressure to deploy capital. The successful candidate will combine senior allocator relationships, strong private equity fluency, and the ability to execute co-investment processes quickly, credibly, and with a long-term relationship orientation.

· Established allocator relationships:
Deep, senior-level relationships with family office principals, CIOs, and private capital allocators, supported by a demonstrable record of converting relationships into repeat investment commitments.

· Record of closed capital:
Meaningful experience personally originating and closing third-party private capital, with clear attribution to commitments raised, investor relationships, and repeat participation.

· Relationship-driven approach:
Builds trust through credibility, responsiveness, discretion, candor, and consistent follow-through. Success is defined by the quality and durability of the partner base, not simply aggregate dollars raised.

· Private equity fluency:
Strong command of underwriting, capital structures, downside cases, co-investment economics, governance rights, allocations, vehicle structures, data rooms, and closing logistics.

· Executive communication:
Able to translate Sinclair's investment strategy and transaction-specific underwriting into clear, compelling materials and conversations for sophisticated family offices and investment committees.

Capital Partnerships Strategy

· Design and execute Sinclair Ventures' co-investment capital program, including target investor universe, coverage model, allocation framework, standard terms, and partner segmentation.

· Build and maintain a pre-qualified roster of family offices and allocators with known check sizes, sector preferences, governance requirements, and decision timelines.

· Develop a repeat partner base capable of investing at meaningful scale alongside Sinclair when a transaction meets the firm's underwriting standards.

· Ensure capital formation remains subordinate to Sinclair's investment discipline; support transactions that meet Sinclair's return and risk parameters rather than create pressure to deploy capital.

Deal-by-Deal Syndication

· Partner with the investment team during diligence to shape each co-investment offering, including sizing, structure, economics, target partners, and timing.

· Lead each syndication process from initial outreach through signed commitments and funding, coordinating materials, data room access, diligence questions, allocations, documentation, and closing logistics.

· Work with counsel and the deal team to negotiate co-investor terms, governance rights, and vehicle mechanics while preserving Sinclair's control of the investment process.

· Maintain the ability to move at deal speed while protecting long-term partner relationships and communicating allocations with transparency and consistency.

Investor Relations & Partner Management

· Serve as the primary ongoing relationship lead for capital partners, coordinating reporting, valuations, distributions, capital calls, and periodic portfolio updates on an institutional-quality cadence.

· Own Sinclair Ventures' capital-partner narrative and external materials, ensuring that messaging accurately reflects the firm's patient-capital strategy, underwriting discipline, and meaningful sponsor capital commitment.

· Represent Sinclair Ventures with family offices and allocators through targeted meetings, relevant industry forums, and Sinclair-hosted partner events.

· Track partner engagement, preferences, participation history, responsiveness, and relationship health to improve future…
