Head of Investments Performance Management (Private Equity)

Capital Dynamics, a global asset management firm focused on private markets with more than USD 15 billion in assets under management across private equity, secondaries, direct investments and clean energy, is hiring the founding Head of Investments Performance Management within its Product Development & Solutions (PDS) team in London.

This is a newly created, individual-contributor role and the first hire into a dedicated Investments Performance Management function, sitting alongside product origination and product management within PDS — the team that leads every product launch on the Capital Dynamics platform and sits at the intersection of investment, sales, legal, compliance, structuring and responsible investment.

The successful candidate will own the end-to-end design and delivery of a comprehensive performance management framework across the firm's product platform: tracking every product against its target return, building a quarterly health-check analytical engine (NAV, liquidity, milestone-tracking, return-attribution), architecting performance dashboards and committee reporting tools, and monitoring fund performance against target-return models to surface deviations early. The role also covers building fund return forecast models and performance attribution frameworks by vintage and strategy, and partnering with Finance, Investor Relations and Product Development on performance data for LP reporting, DDQ responses and fundraising materials.

Capital Dynamics is looking for 8-10 years of experience in quantitative analytics, data science or investments portfolio performance management within private equity, private markets or an adjacent financial services environment, with a demonstrable track record of building performance-measurement infrastructure and prior exposure to PE fund structures, GP/LP dynamics and fund-level financial data (capital calls, distributions, NAV statements, cash-flow histories). Experience within a PE fund manager, fund-of-funds, secondaries manager, infrastructure fund or institutional investor is preferred.

There is no existing infrastructure or team to inherit — this is a build-from-scratch mandate for someone who wants to architect a new capability from first principles and act as a credible governance partner to investment teams and senior leadership.
