Founding hire. You build the function.
Singh Capital Partners is a multi-strategy private investment firm based in Washington DC. We invest across venture capital, private equity, real estate, and public markets, and are LPs in some of the world's top funds. Our portfolio spans defense, AI, energy, and space — sectors central to American dynamism and long-term global competitiveness.
The role
Writing is a deliberate instrument of how this firm operates. We use it to build relationships, shape narratives, announce investments, and establish the firm's point of view. This role is responsible for all of it — the written output of the firm, the message discipline that protects it, and the media relationships that carry its voice into the world. The right candidate has ghostwritten for people who matter, controlled a message under pressure, and placed stories in rooms that are hard to get into. You will own every function below and build the team around you over time.

Message Discipline & Press
- Own the firm's messaging architecture across every context — how the firm describes itself, its portfolio, and its point of view

Background that stands out
