Market Context
Japan represents a compelling and rapidly evolving opportunity for General Atlantic. Following the firm's first growth equity investment in Japan, a strategic minority stake in SmartHR, the country's leading HR technology platform, General Atlantic is building a dedicated local presence to deepen its engagement with Japan's dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Position Summary
We are seeking a Vice President to join our Tokyo-based investment team. As a key member of General Atlantic's Asia platform, the Vice President will play a central role in establishing and growing the firm's presence in Japan — leading investment processes end-to-end, shaping investment theses, and managing investments in high-growth Japanese companies.
This is a rare opportunity to be a foundational member of GA's Japan Growth Equity franchise, owning key portfolio relationships while partnering with regional offices across Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mumbai, to pursue cross-border opportunities and help high-growth Japanese companies scale and create long-term value.
We may consider a Senior Associate level hire, should their experience reflect alignment and willingness to progress to Vice President in the short and long term.
