Having a call about a Growth equity role, a more senior role came up. How do I bring this up in the process?
Hi All,
I got an intro to a partner/MD at a growth equity group, for a principal role they’re hiring for specific to their office. However, just recently, the same group (different office, but supposedly they all work closely together) is looking for a sr principal.
Going by the description (yrs exp) of the Principal role (and just looking at some bios of that firm), and what I’ve heard from a few people outside of the firm (but have familiarity with them), I am probably much closer to a new sr principal vs being a principal there. Also, I recall that my yrs exp / general work exp does line up with this group’s prior sr principal postings. Though this recent one interestingly doesn’t highlight # of yrs exp.
I was wondering how I should best broach this topic. I feel like bringing this up in my very first intro call with a Partner hiring specifically for principal may not be the best time. And that perhaps I should bring it up only later into the process (provided I advance beyond the intro).
Wanted to see if anyone has had to deal with something similar, and how did they go about it during their process.

But welcome others for their thoughts. Thanks all!
Tend to agree with how you are thinking about it. Have the first conversation to see what the level of fit is for both sides, irrespective of role. If it's a good firm and you bring up the example of your experience and the other role they are recruiting then they should be receptive.
+1. This is the right approach.
I might even communicate it via the recruiter
Also, I am almost 95% sure which firm you are interviewing for and they are good people though relatively new fund, I don't think they would react negatively if you had the experience you are saying.
Thanks! Actually, do you mind if I send you a PM with more context?
Sure thing
