Senior vp - private equity - digital infrastrucutre/trasnportation

An independent, Milan-based alternative asset manager specialising in infrastructure and private markets is hiring an investment professional to join the team behind its newly launched generalist infrastructure fund. The firm manages over €3 billion in gross asset value across five funds, has raised more than €1.5 billion in commitments from leading institutional investors. Targets middle-market opportunities driven by structural megatrends including digital transformation, transportation innovation, circular economy, social infrastructure and demographic shifts, alongside the energy transition

The Role

This is a principal investing role within a small, high-impact team building a new fund from the ground up. The successful candidate will be involved across the full investment lifecycle:

Source, evaluate and execute equity investments in infrastructure assets across digital networks and infrastructure, transport and mobility, circular economy, social infrastructure and energy transition. Lead financial modelling, due diligence coordination and investment committee memoranda for new opportunities. Conduct market mapping, thematic research and pipeline development across target sectors and geographies. Support portfolio value creation initiatives post-investment, working closely with management teams of portfolio companies. Contribute to fundraising efforts and investor relations materials as the fund scales. Collaborate with the Senior Partner and wider investment team to shape the fund's strategy and sector positioning. Candidate Profile

6–9 years of experience, of which a meaningful portion must have been spent in principal infrastructure investing or private equity. Direct deal experience across at least two of the following sectors: digital infrastructure, transport and mobility, circular economy, social infrastructure, energy transition. Profiles with only energy / renewables experience will not be considered — a demonstrably broader infrastructure or PE background is essential. International experience (cross-border deal execution, multi-jurisdictional portfolios or time spent working abroad) is highly valued. Strong financial modelling, valuation and transaction execution skills. Fluent in English; Italian is a strong advantage given the Milan base and Italian market focus. Excellent academic credentials from a leading university or business school. What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

Ground-floor entry into a newly launched fund with a differentiated, multi-sector infrastructure mandate — a rare chance to shape a platform from inception. Backed by an established institutional brand with a decade-long track record, over €1.4 billion in commitments raised and deep relationships with insurance companies, pension funds, banks and private banking networks across Italy and Europe. Milan-based with a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture and lean team structure offering exceptional responsibility and visibility from day one. Competitive compensation aligned with fund performance and individual contribution
