Save Job

Direct message the job poster from Lieef

Lieef is a next-generation private markets investment platform, rooted in the elite, small-team discipline of Goldman Sachs’ principal investing strategies — rigorous, opportunistic, and unafraid of complexity. We blend the durability of infrastructure with the agility of private equity, creating and executing deals from scratch in energy, water, waste, and fuels — multi-trillion-dollar global markets that form the essential systems powering and sustaining the economy for the next 50 years.

This is a lean, highly selective environment — every hire is central to our growth

What You’ll Do

  • Lead deals end-to-end: sourcing, diligence, execution, and post-close value creation.
  • Work directly with the founder — no bureaucracy, real responsibility.
  • Operate where others can’t or won’t, turning overlooked markets into advantage.

What We’re Looking For

  • Builders with an ownership mindset.
  • High-conviction operators who thrive in ambiguity.
  • Exceptional analytical ability across corporate and project finance.
  • Self-directed executors who move fast and own outcomes.

What We’re Not Looking For

  • Consensus-seekers, prestige-chasers, or those treating this as a short stop to gain experience before moving on.
  • People viewing this purely through a traditional PE lens — expecting rigid playbooks or narrow scope.
  • Those unwilling to take full ownership — and be recognized for — the results they deliver. Here, your work will always be visible and valued.

How You’ll Be Rewarded

  • Competitive base salary for stability.
  • Significant upside via cash bonuses, carry, and potential participation in management company economics — all tied directly to value you create.
  • No cap on upside.

Why Join Lieef

Here, you’re not just working in a business — you’re helping build it. If you want your fingerprints on deals that last, and have the conviction, creativity, and discipline to match, we should talk.
