About the Role

Capital Dynamics is creating a dedicated Performance Management function within its Product Development & Solutions team. This individual contributor role will build this function from first principles, designing and delivering a comprehensive performance management framework for the firm's product platform. The role requires deep private markets experience and commercial maturity to act as a governance partner.

Responsibilities

  • Build the Performance Management Framework end-to-end, tracking every product against its target return.
  • Design and build the processes, workflows, and analytical tools for the function.
  • Develop and maintain a quarterly health-check analytical engine, automating data capture for NAV, liquidity, milestone-tracking, and return-attribution.
  • Architect performance dashboards and committee reporting tools for clear, decision-ready materials.
  • Embed annual milestones and quarterly performance guidance across every product, operationalizing the framework with investment teams.
  • Monitor fund performance against target-return models, surfacing deviations with data-backed analysis and remediation pathways.
  • Track liquidity facility utilization and NAV exposure, building automated alerts and risk dashboards.
  • Build fund return forecast models and performance attribution frameworks.
  • Prepare structured, auditable materials for the Performance Management Committee.
  • Act as the firm's internal analytical authority on fund performance data, translating quantitative output into commercially relevant narrative.
  • Partner with Finance, IR, and Product Development on performance data requirements for LP reporting, DDQ responses, and fundraising materials.
  • Leverage internal data systems and emerging AI tools to improve performance monitoring quality and efficiency.

Requirements

  • 8–10 years in a quantitative analytics, data science, or portfolio performance management role within private equity, private markets, or an adjacent financial services environment.
  • Demonstrable track record of designing and building performance measurement or analytics infrastructure in a private markets or investment management context.
  • Prior exposure to PE fund structures, GP/LP dynamics, and fund-level financial data (capital calls, distributions, NAV statements, cash-flow histories).
  • Experience within a PE fund manager, fund-of-funds, secondaries manager, infrastructure fund, or institutional investor with a meaningful private markets allocation.
  • Strong financial modelling capability, with proven ability to build and interrogate fund return forecast models and performance attribution frameworks.
  • Ability to translate complex performance data into clear, structured narrative for committee and senior leadership audiences.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML techniques applicable to performance monitoring, anomaly detection, or predictive analytics in a private markets context.
