Vice President​/Director, Private Investments

Equalient is an independent registered investment advisory firm focused on alternative investments. We are developing in-house alternative funds. Our core business is serving high-net-worth individuals and select clients in the sports and entertainment sector. We provide access to differentiated investment opportunities, with a particular focus on private markets and alternative investments.

Our investment activities span venture capital, growth equity, private equity, private credit, and select special situations. We work with investment sponsors, founders, institutional investors, and other market participants to identify, evaluate, structure, and execute investments on behalf of our clients.

As we expand our private investment capabilities, we are seeking an experienced investment professional to play a central role in transaction evaluation, execution, and the continued development of our investment platform.

The Vice President / Director, Private Investments will be responsible for leading the underwriting, due diligence, structuring, and execution of private-market investments across multiple asset classes.

This is a senior, hands‑on role for an investment professional who has progressed beyond an analyst or associate position and has substantial experience managing transactions from initial evaluation through closing.

The successful candidate will work directly with Equalient’s senior leadership, exercise substantial independence, and contribute to both investment decisions and the firm’s long-term development.

While investment analysis and execution will be the primary responsibilities, the position also requires the ability to engage confidently and professionally with sports and entertainment clients, business managers, and other trusted advisors. The successful candidate must be equally comfortable analyzing a complex transaction and explaining its merits and risks to accredited investors.

As the business grows, this position offers the opportunity to recruit, develop, and lead a team of investment professionals.
