Investment Manager - Software

FORUM Family Office has invested with a long-term approach in company stakes (private equity) for more than 20 years. In its private equity activity, FORUM acts as a partner for founders who value finding a permanent, stable home for their life's work: the firm holds its stakes permanently and manages them in a deliberately decentralized way, completing 5-10 deals per year. To support this growth, FORUM is hiring an Investment Manager - Software (m/f/d), based in or willing to relocate to Munich, Germany.

About the Role:

The Investment Manager will take ownership of developing six to eight of FORUM's existing portfolio companies so that, in the medium term, each becomes a leader in its respective segment. The role is carried out in close collaboration with the on-site management teams of each portfolio company. After 3-5 years in the position, successful candidates are expected to be ready to step into a Managing Director / CEO role at one of FORUM's portfolio companies.

Candidate Profile:

- A completed degree in business administration (BWL), an MBA is a plus

- 2-6 years of experience in management consulting

- 2-3 years of operational experience at a leading company

- A strong commercial instinct and a hands-on, results-driven mindset, with a track record of following through on ambitious goals

- The ability to bring others along and build enthusiasm around your ideas

- Based in Munich or willing to relocate there, as FORUM operates an office-first culture

Why Join FORUM:

This is a hands-on investment role combining principal investing with direct operational involvement in portfolio companies, aimed at software and technology-enabled businesses. FORUM's permanent-capital, decentralized ownership model gives Investment Managers significant autonomy and a clear path toward an operating leadership role within the portfolio.
