associate growth equity (f/m/d)

At redalpine, we don’t just back startups - we back a better tomorrow. From deep science to bold software, we partner with founders building the next wave of category-defining companies i.e. n26, Klarna, Spacex, 9fin, proxima fusion and many more. As we continue to scale our growth-stage investing activities as a key pillar of the firm, we are looking for an exceptional growth equity investor to join our team.

You’ve built a strong foundation in growth equity, investment banking, private equity, or top-tier consulting. You are highly analytical, fluent in financial modelling, and able to quickly form conviction on what drives outstanding business performance. Here, you’ll take full ownership from day one: driving the analysis behind our growth-stage investments and working closely with exceptional founders as they scale their businesses.

This is not just another investing role. It’s a rare opportunity to accelerate your career at the intersection of venture and growth investing combining the analytical rigour of top-tier investing with the speed and ambition of working directly with Europe’s most ambitious founders and fast-scaling technology companies, within one of Europe’s leading venture capital firms.

• Drive deal execution: lead financial analysis, valuation, and commercial due diligence on growth-stage opportunities. Build operating models, run returns and scenario analyses, and stress-test investment theses.

• Own the investment case: draft Investment Committee memos that translate diligence into clear, defensible recommendations on market, unit economics, competitive position, and risk.

• Source the next winners: develop sector theses, map markets, and engage with high-quality growth-stage founders and operators across Europe.

• Support portfolio companies: work with founders on financial planning, KPI frameworks, follow-on financings, and exit preparation.

• Corporate finance foundation: 1-3 years full-time experience in growth equity, private equity, investment banking, or top-tier strategy consulting.

• Analytical rigour: advanced financial modelling skills, fluency with SaaS, marketplace, and consumer metrics, and the ability to dissect financial statements with precision.

• Commercial judgement: you go beyond the model. You form and defend a view on a company, a market, or a thesis.

• Brains & bias to action: top academic background and decisive operator mindset, with the ownership to drive workstreams under deal timelines.

• Network: early relationships across European tech, finance, and the investor community, and the appetite to build many more.

• Presence: you inspire trust with founders, teams, and investors alike.

• Impact from day one: real ownership of live deals, with your analysis directly shaping investment outcomes.

• High performance, no ceiling: a high-performance environment with exceptional talent, fast decision-making, and room to grow with the platform.

• Career rocket fuel: deep exposure to Europe’s VC ecosystem, from founders to LPs, with a clear path to senior investment roles.

• Founder proximity: work with Europe’s most ambitious founders at the moment their companies truly scale.

• Bold vision: we back the extraordinary - and so do you.
