About Ares Private EquityAres Private Equity flagship corporate opportunities strategy pursues investments in growth-oriented middle market companies in North America and Europe. Our senior investment professionals average over 22 years of experience investing in, advising, underwriting, and restructuring leveraged companies. We seek to invest in high-quality middle market companies in our core industries - Healthcare, Services, Industrials and Consumer - where we can utilize our extensive growth-oriented investing experience, proprietary Value Creation System, and our ability to flex into distressed to seek to generate consistent returns across market environments.We focus on identifying and investing in middle market inefficiencies in high-quality, growth-oriented companies where we can seek control or significant influence through two principal transaction types: (i) growth buyouts and (ii) distressed. Our growth buyout-focused approach, with the ability to flex into distressed investing during periods of heightened market volatility, allows us to quickly adapt to changing market environments and continue sourcing and executing on a broad funnel of deal flow irrespective of market conditions. We pursue a relative value investment philosophy focused on identifying opportunities in an effort to maximize attractive net returns, as opposed to limiting opportunities to a specific transaction type or structure.We believe that this strategy is differentiated amongst our peers and widens our universe of potential investment opportunities beyond that of many other buyout firms.Primary Functions & Essential ResponsibilitiesWe are looking for a self-motivated individual with a strong interest in investing in a wide variety of industries and transaction structures.
