Head of Capital Partnerships

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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…
