- Product Positioning: Articulate Oister's investment thesis, fund structures, and performance metrics to sophisticated Investment Committees (ICs) and Chief Investment Officers (CIOs).
2. Institutional Relationship Management:
- Strategic Coverage: Act as the primary point of contact for institutional investors, fostering long-term partnerships built on trust and transparency.
- Bespoke Engagement: Understand the specific mandates, risk appetites, and liquidity requirements of different institutional segments (e.g., the long-term horizon of insurance vs. the yield focus of corporate treasuries).
- Stakeholder Navigation: Navigate complex organizational hierarchies within large institutions to reach key decision-makers and influencers.

- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all capital-raising activities strictly adhere to SEBI AIF regulations and other relevant institutional investment guidelines.
4. Sales Operations & Collateral Excellence:
- Institutional Reporting: Work with the investment team to prepare high-quality institutional-grade pitch books, Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs), and data rooms.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with the Operations and Legal teams to streamline the onboarding process for institutional LPs, ensuring a seamless "subscription to drawdown" experience.
Candidate Requirements:
- Experience: Around 6-12 years of experience in Institutional Sales, Investor Relations, or Investment Banking, with 5 years specifically focused on Alternative Investments (AIFs or Private Equity).
- Existing Network: A proven and active network of relationships within the Indian institutional landscape, particularly Corporate Treasurers and Insurance CIOs.
- Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of private market fund structures (Category I, II, and III AIFs), drawdown cycles, IRR/DPI/TVPI metrics, and the nuances of private asset valuations.
