About The Position

Patria (NASDAQ: PAX) is a global alternative asset manager with 38 years of private markets history and approximately $62 billion in assets under management, operating from 14 offices across four continents. The firm is an industry leader in Latin America with a growing presence in Europe and North America, investing across Private Equity, Infrastructure, Credit, Real Estate, Public Equities, and Global Private Markets Solutions (“GPMS”). GPMS forms the cornerstone of Patria's European and US private markets platform, offering institutional clients access to private equity across primaries, secondaries and co-investments. Patria GPMS oversees approximately USD 17 billion in AUM across a diversified, North American and European private equity portfolio. The platform serves a broad institutional and semi-institutional client base – Including public and private pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, high net worth individuals and wealth management platforms. Following a recent US acquisition that significantly expanded the platform's North American presence and client base, the IR team is now structured to deliver a higher level of specialization across its core functions: fundraising, client service, product development, and business development. This role sits within the client service function and is central to the team's ability to serve a more complex and geographically diverse investor base. The VP of IR & Client Service will serve as the primary senior relationship manager for a defined book of clients, with a particular focus on the US-domiciled investor base inherited through the recent acquisition. The role is designed around deep product expertise: the VP is expected to develop a comprehensive command of the GPMS product suite, underlying portfolio companies, fund performance drivers, and investment narratives – enabling the delivery of high-quality, insightful updates to clients across all stages of the fund lifecycle. This is a client-facing role that requires equal fluency in relationship management, investment content, and operational execution. The VP will work closely with the Head of GPMS IR, the Investment and Portfolio Management teams, and the broader Patria Investments Sales team to ensure clients receive best-in-class experience.
