Associate, Private Equity, Special Opportunities Group

GIC is one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, with over 2,000 employees across 11 locations globally, investing in more than 40 countries across asset classes. GIC manages Singapore's foreign reserves and takes a long-term, global perspective on all investments.

The Special Opportunities Group (SOG) has a global mandate focused on two areas: investments that are defensive and uncorrelated in nature, and dislocation-triggered opportunities. The strategy encompasses stressed and distressed debt, real assets, royalties, insurance, structured credit, and opportunistic special situations. Associates will have the opportunity to help research and develop new investment themes.

As an Associate, responsibilities include participating in all aspects of underwriting for direct investments and co-investments — evaluating key risk/return drivers, market dynamics, historical and projected financial performance, management teams, capital structures, and deal terms. Associates also participate in fund investment underwriting, evaluating fund managers' strategy, track record, investment and execution capabilities, and cultural alignment.

Additional responsibilities include researching and developing investment themes and strategy, and monitoring the macro environment and portfolio performance.

Candidates should have 2-4 years of work experience at an investment bank, buy-side firm, or consulting firm, with strong quantitative skills and proficiency in financial modeling. The position is a Summer 2027 start based in New York.
