The Role

British Patient Capital ("BPC") is a commercial subsidiary of British Business Bank ("BBB"). BPC's long-term vision is for more home-grown and fully funded high growth companies to fulfil their potential to be players on the global stage. Our investment programme backs venture and venture growth funds and co-invests selectively in our UK-based portfolio companies.

Working as part of a small team who are responsible for the investment and ongoing management of the BPC direct investments programme, you will be required to work across the range of activities of BPC, collaborating with investment colleagues based in the Sheffield and London offices, and liaising with legal, risk, finance, and external advisors.

You will have a good commercial understanding of small business operations and finances to contribute effectively towards financial and investment analysis, due diligence, negotiation of legal agreements, financial modelling, and portfolio monitoring and reporting.

It is essential that you have an understanding of life sciences, financial accounts and reporting, good operational knowledge of Microsoft Office software, the ability to work collaboratively and flexibly as part of a team to achieve measurable results, and demonstrable ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.

This is a small team so you must have a flexible, team-focused approach and be willing to help out across the Bank when necessary. Additionally, you will need to be extremely organised and flexible as the team deals with a high volume of transactions and consequently you will need to keep on top of a large portfolio of activity.
