The posting

We are global private markets specialists delivering tailored investment solutions, advisory services, and impactful, data driven insights to the world’s investors.

The selected candidate will interact and collaborate with our clients and prospects and very closely with senior professionals across various teams including business development, research and investment across all asset classes (private debt, private equity, infrastructure and real estate), legal and compliance, monitoring and reporting, among others, to meet our client’s requirements about the firm’s service offerings and investment vehicles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Client Servicing & LP Coverage: Support the Southeast Asia institutional BD team in managing relationships with existing and prospective LPs.

  • RFP Coordination: Assist in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process by coordinating with various investment and internal data analytics teams to craft, review, and finalize high-quality responses.
  • Marketing & Events: Support the planning and execution of product marketing roadshows and client events when needed. Be the liaison point with internal marketing team.
  • Presentations: Create, prepare, and maintain periodic slide decks for internal global BD presentations and sometimes for external client meetings. Critically assess the veracity and applicability of content provided by asset class teams for pitches/proposals. Provide input on developing new and enhancing existing presentation content for marketing materials
  • Internal sales management: Assist with logging salesforce for all BD activities and any ad hoc reports required by global BD management
  • Strategic Projects: Perform and assist with other ad-hoc projects and initiatives related to the BD function as needed.
  • Sourcing and fundraising: For a candidate who demonstrates exceptional capability and maturity, the role also entails undertaking investor outreach, growing our pool of prospective LPs, soliciting StepStone offerings across the various asset classes.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • 3–5 years of related professional experience. Experience in private markets is highly preferred; backgrounds in investment banking, consulting, or asset management are a strong plus.
  • Proven client-facing experience with a strong degree of professional maturity. Client oriented/investor relations attitude.
  • Proficiency in both English and Mandarin (verbal and written) is required in order to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders. Additional Southeast Asian languages would be a bonus but not required.

  • Advanced experience working with complex Microsoft Excel files and crafting compelling PowerPoint presentations.
  • Highly motivated self-starter and self-driven. Must have a demonstrated history of taking initiative, working independently, and adapting quickly in a fast-changing environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
