Associate, Infrastructure and Real Assets

The title breaks into three tokens: 'Associate' as the seniority band, 'Infrastructure and Real Assets' as the sector, and no programme suffix. The advert confirms this is an experienced hire position requiring 2-5 years of prior professional experience, not a graduate or internship track. Source

The 'Associate' token here places the role in the experienced hire seniority band rather than a graduate or off-cycle intake, given the explicit 2-5 years of prior experience the advert asks for.

The posting does not state which sub-team within HarbourVest this role sits in; the job description only references the broader Infrastructure and Real Assets area without giving an organisational placement.

HarbourVest Partners is the employer. The role is full-time and based in London, run under a hybrid work arrangement with 18 remote workdays per quarter to use at the employee's discretion, subject to manager approval. Source

About 46 people have held London roles at HarbourVest Partners as a whole since 2018.

The Associate will carry out investment analysis, due diligence, return analysis and writing investment summaries, including partnership and company modelling, qualitative and quantitative analysis of managers, capital structures and relevant industries, and coordination of the closing process. Work covers evaluating new secondary partnership and direct investment opportunities, preparing financial models and author investment committee materials, and monitoring existing transactions.
