PE & VC Talent, Secured with Discipline
At McGregor Boyall, we understand the intricacies of private equity recruitment and venture capital hiring, ensuring to cover all investment areas with immense detail:
Private Equity Recruitment
We understand that PE teams need investors who can source proprietary opportunities, execute time-pressured deals, and drive value creation post-close. When recruiting for private equity jobs, we look beyond financial modelling to identify professionals with strong commercial acumen, operational awareness, and the discipline to manage complex buy-side processes.
Venture Capital Recruitment
We know VC teams need professionals who can evaluate high-growth businesses and support portfolio companies through scaling challenges. When we recruit for venture capital jobs, we assess not only technical capability but also pattern recognition, sector expertise, and the ability to build trusted relationships in fast-moving markets.
Growth Equity Recruitment
As part of our private equity and venture capital recruitment expertise, we support growth equity teams seeking professionals who can balance minority-investment discipline with hands-on value creation. When hiring into pe/vc jobs within growth-focused strategies, we prioritise candidates who combine strong deal execution capability with the operational mindset required to partner closely with management teams.
Portfolio Operations & Value Creation Recruitment
Portfolio teams require operators with the functional expertise to deliver measurable performance improvement across multiple assets. As part of our private equity and venture capital recruitment capability, we identify leaders with proven track records in operational transformation, digital acceleration, commercial optimisation, and finance function build-out, who can drive results across portfolio companies simultaneously.
