Artisan Partners .
Artisan Partners, a global multi‑asset investment platform, is seeking an experienced capital raiser to accelerate fundraising and drive new LP commitments for our independent and autonomous real estate franchise. The team specializes in originating, developing, acquiring and managing middle market properties across the United States. The team has raised three discretionary closed‑end draw‑down funds and currently manages $940 million in institutional assets across its flagship fund series and co‑investment program.
This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact sales role for a leader who thrives on building an institutional pipeline, securing commitments, and driving results within defined fundraising windows and targets. This individual will own the full fundraising lifecycle—including target market segmentation, sales planning, pipeline development, prospect engagement, and LP conversion.
The ideal candidate will be an entrepreneurial self‑starter with deep knowledge of real‑estate private equity, including experience raising capital for opportunistic/value‑add strategies, closed‑end drawdown funds, and co‑investment opportunities. They will bring a disciplined sales framework, institutional LP relationships, and a proven track record of securing new commitments and expanding investor platforms. They will combine strategic thinking with hands‑on execution to drive impactful fundraising outcomes for the franchise.
