Overview

This is a senior investment role within a Mayfair-based, FCA-regulated asset manager serving as the advisory firm to a multi-billion dollar Single Family Office. The asset manager invests across public and private markets, working with a network of advisors and specialist partners to construct and manage a diversified portfolio focused on long-term growth and wealth preservation.

Operating with a lean and highly collaborative team, the asset manager offers exposure across multiple asset classes, investment strategies, and geographies. Decisions are made with a long-term perspective, and individuals carry meaningful influence over investment outcomes.

The Senior Investment Manager will serve as a senior point of integration between the Investment Team and Investment Committee, combining hands-on investment responsibility with broader leadership and coordination duties. The successful candidate will be comfortable challenging assumptions, influencing investment decisions, and working closely with senior stakeholders to support disciplined, long-term outcomes.

Location: Mayfair, London (W1) — Full-time, Permanent, On-site

Compensation: Competitive salary and performance bonus

Key Responsibilities

Portfolio Construction

  • Support the design and ongoing development of portfolio structure across asset classes, sectors, and geographies

Investment Execution

  • Oversee portfolio performance monitoring and reporting activities
  • Conduct valuation reviews and challenge assumptions where appropriate
  • Produce high-quality reporting and commentary for the Investment Committee and family stakeholders

Team Leadership and Coordination

  • Coordinate investment activity across the wider investment team
  • Support the allocation and prioritisation of investment opportunities
  • Promote consistency in investment analysis, valuation methodologies, and decision-making frameworks
  • Mentor and support the development of junior investment professionals

Strategic Contribution

Desirable

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Senior role with meaningful influence over investment decisions within a sophisticated multi-billion-dollar family office environment
  • Broad exposure across public and private markets, multiple asset classes, and international geographies
  • Lean, collaborative team structure with direct access to senior stakeholders and the Investment Committee
  • Long-term investment philosophy with a focus on wealth preservation and compounding value
