About the role

LionLight Capital, L.P. is a private equity firm based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina seeking a Senior Associate to join the core investment team. You will take ownership across the full investment lifecycle and work directly with leadership, management teams, and investors. Responsibilities include diligence and execution on investments, preparing committee memos, and driving value creation through portfolio initiatives, add-on M&A, KPI development, and strategic financing.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
