Managing Director, Private Markets

Johns Hopkins University was founded in 1876 and is one of the world’s premier teaching and research institutions with more than 24,000 students across nine academic divisions on four campuses in Baltimore; one in Washington, D.C.; and facilities throughout the Baltimore-Washington region, as well as in China and Italy. The university attracts the finest undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, post-doctoral and professional degree students, as well as more federal research and development funding than any other university in the United States.

The JHU Investment Office has responsibility for investing the endowments for the university, the Johns Hopkins Hospital System, and related endowed entities totaling approximately $8 billion, as well as certain pension related assets valued at approximately $1 billion.

Johns Hopkins University is seeking candidates for the position of Managing Director, Private Markets. The role will report to the Chief Investment Officer, Jason Perlioni, and the successful candidate will have responsibility for sourcing, evaluating and recommending investment opportunities and setting strategy for the private equity portfolio. This is a significant opportunity to further build out a private equity program in a broader portfolio with ample liquidity and a goal to materially increase private equity exposure, and the buyout exposure specifically. This person will be a senior member of a highly collaborative investment team focused on building a concentrated, best-in-class portfolio and developing long-term relationships with a core set of investment partners. This person will be a thought leader who embraces mentorship, cross-functional communication, and a team-oriented decision-making process. Someone who is proactive, embraces continuous learning and leads by example rather than delegating in a more hierarchical team structure will excel in this role.
