Recently spoke to a Partner over there. It’s a very operationally focused private equity firm, and that’s a major part of their fundraising pitch. Takes on pretty complex companies and drives change. I think it’s poised to do well in the future. The Ops team is somewhat bifurcated between pre-deal focused work and post-deal focused work. Considering the operational focus of the firm, I’d assume it’s likely somewhat tough in terms of hours. Comp is probably great though considering its importance. It sounds like the ops team shares in carry or equity in their portcos, but I’m not certain on that. That’s about all I know about their ops side since I’m on the deal team side of things so I didn’t ask too many questions about it

Thanks! Awesome answer, really appreciate it. I heard about an ops role focusing on pre deal work, and it sounds interesting. Waiting to learn more.

I feel like most of their Ops team comes from their VPT program these day unless you have a lot of specific experience and can in at a higher level.
