Cortes Capital is the Oklahoma City-based private investment office for the Love family. Our vision is to deliver exceptional long-term returns for the Love family while defining the standard for growth focused family offices. You will be part of the team that sources, evaluates, and selects investment opportunities, in addition to monitoring existing investments.
We are unique from many family offices as we focus exclusively on private investing, including private equity, growth equity, and venture capital.

We source broadly, engage in dynamic discussions with general partners and management teams, provide candid feedback, and set realistic expectations. We invest in funds, co-investments, and direct investments, focusing on thematic areas such as software, industrials, life sciences, and more.
We seek the most intellectually curious individuals with a passion for investing. An ability to work independently AND as part of a collaborative team is a must. A strong understanding of private capital markets is helpful.
This position is expected to start during the early summer of 2025.

- Perform initial legal documents reviews and coordinate with external counsel
- Complete investment reports
