Investment Analyst

About Oryx Ltd.

Oryx Ltd. is a family office with a global investment mandate spanning private equity, venture capital, public markets, real estate, and alternative investments. The group’s primary focus is the USA and the GCC, with additional exposure across the UK, Europe, and select global markets. It operates through specialist subsidiaries and takes a principal-led, long-term approach to building and managing assets.

The role

Reporting directly to the Managing Partner and Portfolio Manager, the Investment Analyst supports investment activity across the full deal cycle — sourcing, due diligence, execution, monitoring, and exit — for opportunities spanning real estate, private equity, public markets, and alternatives.

The mandate is global, with primary focus on the USA and the GCC and selective exposure across the UK, Europe, and Asia. You will work across asset classes and jurisdictions, building the analytical and financial discipline that supports principal investment decisions.

The role demands strong analytical capability, the discipline to produce rigorous financial models and memoranda, and the judgment to evaluate opportunities on both absolute merit and against the firm’s existing portfolio. Success looks like a well-maintained deal pipeline, investment-grade memoranda, accurate portfolio monitoring, and the ability to surface insights to the Managing Partner clearly framed for decision-making.
