About Churchill Partners
Churchill Partners is an acquisition-led holding company headquartered in Dubai, UAE, with offices in the UK and the USA. Our mandate is to acquire, scale and compound high-quality mid-market businesses. Each acquisition is expected to be executed through a dedicated SPV, with Churchill leveraging its Board and Partner network to source deals, raise acquisition finance, strengthen market credibility and support post-acquisition value creation.

We are now prioritising the appointment of Board Members who can materially strengthen Churchill’s access to large-scale capital. The immediate requirement is for individuals with a proven ability to raise, arrange, introduce or influence funding in the region of $100 million and above, particularly through family offices, private equity, sovereign wealth funds, direct lenders, institutional investors and other pools of significant dry powder. Our aim is to secure $2 billion of committed capital as our deal pipeline continues to grow.
The Role
We are seeking exceptional Board Members / Strategic Capital Partners to join Churchill Partners and, where appropriate, the boards of acquired portfolio businesses. This is not a passive non-executive appointment. The role is intended for senior individuals who can actively help Churchill become capital-ready and transaction-ready for acquisitions requiring substantial equity and/or debt funding.
Board Members will be expected to provide strategic judgement, credibility and practical introductions that can translate into investor engagement, proof of funds, indicative terms, co-investment interest, debt financing or other acquisition funding support.
Current Priority: Capital Raising & Funding Access
Churchill’s immediate priority is to build a focused group of Board Members with deep capital networks and demonstrable fundraising experience. Ideal candidates will have personally raised, arranged, advised on, committed or influenced institutional-scale capital in one or more transaction settings.
- Proven track record raising or arranging funding of $100m+ for acquisitions, growth capital, private equity, real assets, infrastructure, credit, special situations or corporate finance transactions.
- Direct relationships with family offices, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds, investment holding companies, direct lenders, private credit funds, banks, institutional investors or strategic investors.
- Ability to open senior-level doors and progress conversations beyond introductions into credible funding discussions, investor diligence, term sheets or soft commitments.
- Experience working with, advising, investing alongside or holding senior relationships within sovereign wealth funds or government-backed investment platforms would be highly attractive.
- Understanding of acquisition finance, equity syndication, co-investment structures, leverage, SPV structures and investor/lender expectations.
Key Responsibilities
- Introduce Churchill to credible capital providers with capacity to fund acquisitions or co-invest alongside Churchill on a deal-by-deal basis.
- Support the Chairman and transaction team in developing capital strategies for acquisition opportunities, including equity, debt, seller rollover and co-investment structures.
- Provide strategic input on M&A; transactions, valuations, funding architecture, lender appetite and investor positioning.
- Assist in preparing Churchill for investor and lender engagement, including feedback on teasers, investment materials, proof-of-funds requirements and diligence expectations.
- Support deal origination, market access and strategic introductions where relevant.
- Join selected acquisition project teams where the Board Member’s network, credibility or sector expertise is directly relevant.
- Serve, where appropriate, as an executive or non-executive board member of an acquired business post-completion.
- Act as an ambassador for Churchill Partners in relevant capital, corporate and investor markets.
Who We Are Looking For We are targeting individuals with senior-level credibility and the ability to move capital conversations at speed. Suitable profiles may include:
- Former or current senior executives, Chairs, CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, investment committee members or board directors.
- Individuals with backgrounds in private equity, investment banking, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, direct lending, private credit, asset management, corporate finance or institutional fundraising.
- Senior advisers, principals or operating partners who have built trusted relationships with capital allocators and can make high-quality introductions.
- Individuals who have built, scaled, acquired, financed or exited businesses and understand what investors and lenders need before backing a transaction.
- Sector leaders with networks across energy infrastructure, industrial services, healthcare, technology, financial services, B2B services or other cash-generative mid-market sectors.
Essential Requirements
- Demonstrable experience raising, arranging,
advising on or influencing funding of $100 million or more.
- A credible network of capital providers with real decision-making capacity, not only intermediary-level contacts.
- Strong reputation, judgement and discretion when representing Churchill Partners externally.
- Ability to engage on a deal-by-deal basis and contribute quickly when an acquisition opportunity requires capital support.
- Comfortable operating in a high-trust, entrepreneurial and execution-focused environment.
Highly Desirable Experience
- Current or former association with sovereign wealth funds, government investment entities, royal family offices, large family offices, institutional investors or major private equity platforms.
- Experience in cross-border acquisition financing across the GCC, UK, Europe, North America or Asia.
- Relationships with private credit providers, direct lenders, banks or structured capital providers capable of supporting leveraged acquisitions.
- Experience helping a platform company or sponsor build a repeatable capital base, soft equity alignment or lender network before LOI stage.
Engagement Model Churchill operates a focused, deal-by-deal Board activation model. For each acquisition opportunity, the Chairman will typically call upon 3-4 Board Members / Partners whose experience, networks and credibility are most relevant to that transaction. This keeps decision-making fast while allowing Churchill to run multiple deals in parallel.
- Board Members may be engaged for capital introductions, transaction advice, diligence support, investor/lender positioning and post-acquisition governance.
- Material contributors may be invited to join the board of the acquired business following completion.
- Where a Board Member plays a vital role in securing financing or enabling completion, Churchill may consider equity participation in the relevant acquired business or SPV, subject to agreement and contribution.
Remuneration
- Equity participation where the Board Member makes a material contribution to securing acquisition finance, investor commitments or strategic capital.
- Deal completion bonus; board appointment or agreed engagement scope.
- Structured as daily rates, annual board fees or deal-linked remuneration depending on involvement.
- Competitive and aligned with senior market expectations and measurable contribution.
Why Join Churchill Partners
- Join a founding Board/Partner group shaping an acquisition platform from inception.
- Help build a responsible capital base for acquisitions requiring $100 million+ funding capacity.
- Gain exposure to multiple acquisition opportunities rather than a single operating company.
- Work alongside senior executives, operators, investors and advisers across key international markets.
- Participate in a flexible, deal-driven highly rewarding model with potential for long-term portfolio involvement as Churchill scales into a PE-style platform.
