We’re building Lieef for investors who create, not just allocate. If you can take a thesis from insight to execution—and want real ownership in what you build—this is your seat at the table.

About Lieef

Lieef is a next-generation private markets platform built for those who build from first principles. We blend the durability of infrastructure with the agility of private equity—originating and executing deals from the ground up across energy, water, waste, and fuels: the essential systems powering the next half-century.

This is a lean, high-accountability environment where every hire shapes the trajectory.

What You’ll Do

Lead deals end-to-end — sourcing, diligence, structuring, and post-close value creation

Work directly with the founder — full context, real responsibility

Build high-quality, cash-generative platforms that redefine how essential systems are owned and operated

What We’re Looking For

Builders with an ownership mindset and conviction to act without a playbook

Investors fluent in corporate and project finance — able to underwrite risk, not just model it

Operators who move from thesis to transaction with speed, precision, and persistence

Who Thrives Here

You recognize opportunity in real-world industries others take for granted — businesses with durable economics, tangible assets, and room to evolve. You think in systems, not silos, and want to compound skill and equity by building what lasts.

Compensation

Competitive base for stability

Significant upside through cash bonuses, carry, and potential participation in management company economics

All tied directly to value you create — no cap on upside

Why Lieef

You’re not joining a firm; you’re helping build one. If you want your fingerprints on enduring assets and the systems that sustain the real economy, we should talk.
