Overview of Hercules and Career Opportunities

As a highly respected specialty finance firm, Hercules Technology Growth Capital “Hercules” is the ideal place to build your career in technology and life sciences investing and lending. We provide a wide range of work experience and learning opportunities through our industry specific groups (Technology, Life Sciences and Lower Middle Market/Buy-outs) businesses units.

Hercules strives to maintain what we consider to be important balances:

• Our firm is small enough to give every client, investment and relationship senior-level attention, yet large enough to handle large, complex and highly customized transactions.
• Our firm is still young enough to be entrepreneurial, while seasoned enough to be recognized as diligent, thoughtful and ethical in the way we conduct business.
• Our firm is highly focused, yet always integrates finance with strategy.
• While focusing on our core businesses, our firm works to pursue new businesses and hire the best available talent to develop them.

We offer a challenging and fast-paced yet collegial environment developed through teamwork and close working relationships with Hercules's Senior Managing Directors and Group Heads. You will be given extensive responsibilities and will be stretched intellectually. We empower our people to exceed their own expectations.

We are seeking energetic, self-motivated, team-oriented individuals with fresh ideas and innovative solutions. Candidates should have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and should be strong group facilitators as well as capable leaders and successful team players. These traits are vital to our maintaining an atmosphere of intellectual challenge, mutual respect, acceptance and support.

Prior experience in the financial services industry is preferred, but not required, and a strong interest in the technology and life sciences industries is a must. The number of hires sought each year varies, depending on market performance and the firm's expected growth.

Our primary goal is to recruit top-tier candidates, challenge their thinking, cultivate their talent, and ultimately help them succeed. The key to remaining relevant and dynamic in the market place is recruiting and retaining superior talent.

Hercules does not discriminate in employment matters on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other category protected by law. Note that for us, this is more than just a legal boilerplate. We are genuinely committed to these principles, which form an important part of our corporate culture, and are eager to hear from extraordinarily well qualified individuals, having a wide range of backgrounds and personal characteristics. We are very proud to have such a diverse work-force and seek to expand our group.
