Private equity isn’t always the best known route for a career in finance, but it is certainly known by the best. The platform we provide at Bridgepoint, together with the reputation of our brand, will provide you, wherever you sit in our Firm, with the foundation on which to establish a successful career. If you’ve already established a career in private equity, we will also provide you with many opportunities to develop further.

You will not only be developing your skills to help drive our investment activities, but play a part in shaping our culture - an inclusive culture - and reputation as a performance-driven team.

We typically recruit into our investment team via our International Associate Programme. This is aimed at entry level associates who normally have had a few years’ work experience to provide them with technical training and real opportunity to develop their investment decision-making and launch a career in private equity.

As someone who began his career this way many years ago, I (and my colleagues) can attest to the sheer variety and challenge of the work you’ll undertake as well as to the many friendships you’ll make along the way, both at the Firm and in the many companies we acquire.

Bridgepoint also operates Work Experience programmes and from time to time offers Internship opportunities to enable individuals to see what life at a private equity firm is all about. These are designed to encourage those whom we judge to be potential future employees of the Firm and whose entry standards are therefore deliberately set to be challenging.

Bridgepoint is more than just about investment performance. We are of course aware of our broader responsibility to society and of our duty to be a good corporate citizen wherever we work. So, for example, our charitable foundation, the Bridgepoint Charitable Trust was formed and funded by the Firm and its employees. We’re proud of the difference we’ve made to charities across Europe and in the US.

I hope that you will consider private equity as career and that you will choose to work at Bridgepoint. Come join us.
