Distribution Data Enablement Lead

I'm working with a leading global investment firm looking to hire a Principal-level Data Enablement Lead to sit at the intersection of distribution strategy, fund performance, and advanced analytics.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role focused on building out a next-generation analytics capability to support fundraising, investor insights, and commercial performance across asset classes.

What you'll be doing:

• Partner directly with senior stakeholders across Distribution, Product, and Investment teams
• Build Python-based models, tools, and automation to drive decision-making
• Develop scenario analysis on fund performance, deal inclusion/exclusion, and portfolio construction
• Deliver deep LP/investor analytics (performance, exposure, relationship economics)
• Analyze client profitability and fundraising trends across the platform
• Help transition the function from manual reporting to scalable, data-driven insights

What we're looking for:

• 10+ years in investment analytics, performance analytics, or similar within asset management / alternatives
• Strong understanding of private markets metrics (IRR, MOIC, TVPI, etc.)
• Hands-on coding experience in Python + SQL
• Experience building models, analytics tools, or scalable data solutions
• Ability to translate complex data into clear business insights for senior stakeholders

This is an opportunity to own and build a high-impact analytics function within a top-tier investment platform.

Feel free to reach out directly if this sounds relevant, or if you'd like to learn more.
