Principal, Healthcare Private Equity (SF or NYC based)

Almond Partners (Buy-Side Executive Search)

Principal, Healthcare

We partner with exceptional healthcare businesses and management teams to build market-leading companies that drive meaningful impact across the healthcare ecosystem. With approximately $25B in assets under management, we invest behind strong leadership, differentiated business models, and long-term value creation opportunities across healthcare services, technology, and related sectors.

We are currently seeking a Principal to join our Healthcare investment team. This individual will play a leadership role in sourcing, evaluating, executing, and managing investments across a broad range of healthcare subsectors. The role offers significant responsibility, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the opportunity to help shape the continued growth of our healthcare franchise.

The Role

As a Principal, you will be deeply involved across the full investment lifecycle — from thematic sourcing and investment underwriting through transaction execution and portfolio value creation. You will work closely with founders, executives, advisors, and internal stakeholders to identify differentiated opportunities and help scale high-performing healthcare businesses.

We are looking for an investor who combines strong analytical rigor with commercial judgment, sector fluency, and the ability to lead in fast-paced, highly collaborative environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Source and evaluate investment opportunities across healthcare subsectors, including provider services, payor services, healthcare IT, life sciences tools and services, medical technology, and outsourced healthcare solutions.
  • Lead commercial, financial, and operational diligence processes, including analysis of reimbursement dynamics, regulatory considerations, market trends, and operational improvement opportunities.
  • Develop investment theses, financial models, and investment committee materials to support transaction recommendations and strategic decision-making.
  • Partner with senior team members on transaction structuring, negotiations, financing strategy, and deal execution.
  • Work closely with portfolio company management teams to support strategic growth initiatives, operational enhancements, M&A opportunities, and overall value creation efforts.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships across the healthcare ecosystem, including executives, operators, bankers, consultants, and industry experts, to support proactive sourcing and deepen market insight.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in private equity, healthcare investing, investment banking, or a related investment-oriented role.
  • Strong healthcare sector knowledge, including familiarity with operational, regulatory, and reimbursement-related complexities.
  • Excellent financial modeling, valuation, and transaction execution capabilities.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage effectively with senior executives and investment professionals.
  • Demonstrated leadership ability, sound judgment, and a high level of intellectual curiosity and initiative.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree and/or relevant professional credentials are a plus.
  • Why Join Us
  • This is an opportunity to join a highly respected investment platform with the scale, reputation, and resources to pursue differentiated opportunities across the healthcare landscape. You will work alongside an experienced and collaborative team, gain exposure to high-profile transactions, and play a meaningful role in building and scaling leading healthcare businesses.

We offer a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment where top performers are given significant responsibility, direct access to decision-makers, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Compensation

Competitive cash compensation (Base + Bonus) + significant equity. Exceptional benefits + company gym/spa
