About the organisation
Cairngorm Capital is a specialist private investment firm managing over £400 million of equity capital. We invest in growing, private mid-market companies, predominantly UK based. We are focused on enduring, non-cyclical investment opportunities, often in industries involving homes, health, wealth and the transition to net-zero.
Cairngorm Capital’s current portfolio companies have combined revenues of over £1BN and more than 6,500 employees. We bring the deep expertise of our Operating Partners and our equity capital together to support transformational growth within our portfolio companies.
We are building the firm’s capacity to continue its disciplined investment selection and thoughtful buy-and-build strategies. In the past twelve months, we have added four people to the investment team, three of whom are now based in the Edinburgh office. We are currently investing from our third fund, Cairngorm Capital III, and are also fundraising for our new fourth fund. As we embark on the next chapter of Cairngorm Capital’s journey, we are now looking to further grow our investment team in Edinburgh.
About the role
Due to continued growth and success, Cairngorm Capital is looking to hire an Investment Associate to support investment activities across the UK. Based in Edinburgh but with regular UK travel, you will be involved in originating and executing new investments and in ongoing portfolio management. Investment team members and the transformation team, regardless of location, work together as one team, with collaboration and creativity central to our culture and success.
