About Saintrose Capital
Saintrose Capital is a technology-driven placement agent specialising in equity and debt capital raising for companies and fund managers globally. We connect capital-seeking clients with institutional investors and Limited Partners (LPs) across Private Equity, Venture Capital, Family Offices, HNWIs, and strategic LPs through proprietary outreach systems and intelligent matching algorithms. AI is embedded across our research, targeting, materials, outreach, and internal workflows; it is how we operate, not something bolted on. By combining hands-on dealmaking experience with a data-first methodology, we deliver comprehensive market coverage that traditional relationship-based models cannot match.
Role Description
This is a remote, performance-based Associate role with uncapped earnings potential. Rather than a fixed salary, the Associate receives a direct cut of the advisory fees on every mandate they help close at uncapped percentage economics. Closed deal value is your P&L. Bigger raises, bigger checks, bigger book. This is built for analysts who are ready to step up, run live mandates, and be paid like a dealmaker rather than a desk hire.
As an Associate, you will run multiple capital-raising mandates in parallel as the day-to-day lead. The Managing Partner owns the mandate and sets strategic direction; you drive execution, and you are the face of Saintrose to every client you run. Your responsibilities span four core areas:
* Client management & deal oversight: Discovery calls, positioning, single point of contact for the client, and day-to-day execution across the full 10-16 week mandate lifecycle (discovery, materials, outreach, due diligence, negotiation, close).
* Investor outreach & engagement: Set the targeting strategy, run outreach across our institutional investor and LP universe, qualify investors, manage NDAs and data room access, and create competitive tension through negotiation.
* Analyst management & QC: Brief and assign work to analysts, mentor them to institutional standards, and review every client-facing output before it leaves the firm. Nothing ships without your sign-off.
* Pipeline & process management: Keep the CRM live, maintain client-visible dashboards, and run tight feedback loops on outreach performance. Dead time kills deals; momentum is your job.
Qualifications
* 1-3 years of experience as an analyst in investment banking, capital advisory, private equity, venture capital, corporate development, or transaction advisory
* Strong marketing and positioning instinct. You understand how to package a mandate, craft a compelling investment narrative, and produce investor-facing materials (teasers, CIMs, decks) that cut through a crowded inbox and drive investor response
* Working knowledge of how private markets operate, with particular fluency in the Lower Middle Market: deal sizes, capital structures, investor archetypes (regional PE, family offices, strategic LPs), and the pacing dynamics of sub-institutional raises
* Sharp analytical judgment and the ability to translate raw data into clear investment narratives
* Strong financial modelling skills and the ability to build and interrogate valuation, LBO, and cash flow models from scratch
* Self-starter mentality: you operate with urgency, own outcomes, and can run multiple workstreams in parallel without hand-holding
* Comfortable leading junior analysts: briefing clearly, reviewing output critically, and raising the standard of everyone below you
* Hungry, commercially minded, and motivated by performance-based compensation. You want to eat what you kill.
* Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field (CFA, Master's, or equivalent credentials a plus)
What You Get
* Uncapped income tied directly to deals you help close. A real path from analyst to dealmaker economics.
* End-to-end ownership of live mandates as the primary client contact from day one
* Direct exposure to institutional investors, LPs, and founder/CEO-level clients across multiple live deals in parallel
* A fully AI-integrated platform with proprietary outreach systems, live client dashboards, and institutional-grade templates that give you reach most junior bankers never touch
* Remote, global, meritocratic. Your output is the only thing that gates your progression.
