Job description

CapMan is a leading Nordic private assets management and investment company with a large international network. Rooted in the Nordics, we have successfully invested across a wide range of private asset sectors for over 35 years. We invest in real estate and infrastructure assets, natural capital and businesses. As active owners we create growth journeys, success stories, and turnarounds, improve Nordic infrastructure, strengthen societies and make businesses more sustainable.

Our teams are locally based and guided by Nordic values, committed to honesty, teamwork, and action. Driven by our passion for growing businesses, driving sustainable change, and helping to build the society of tomorrow. CapMan employs around 250 professionals in Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, London, Düsseldorf, Luxembourg and Paris. We are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki since 2001.

This is an opportunity for you to join CapMan in the role of Investment Associate as part of the Infra team.

About the team

The CapMan Infra team consists of 16 infrastructure professionals based in Helsinki and Stockholm. The team focuses on Nordic mid-cap infrastructure and invests in energy, transportation, and digital infrastructure assets that provide essential services to Nordic societies and businesses while generating predictable cash flows. Through our investments we drive operational improvements and offer tailored solutions to local infrastructure asset owners and partners in the Nordic countries. Sustainability is an integrated part of our investment strategy.

As a continuation to the two successful infrastructure funds established in 2018 and 2022, we are currently raising our third fund with a target size of EUR 750m, and the first close of the new fund was successfully completed in June 2026.

About the role

You will work across the full investment lifecycle, including originating new investments and working on transactions, developing our portfolio companies and exits. We are a close-knit, entrepreneurial team with a flat structure, so you will take on real responsibility from day one and gain broad exposure and ownership.

• New investments: Screening opportunities, analysing companies and markets, working with counterparties and advisors, and building financial models and presentations.
• Transactions: A hands-on role in deals from kick‑off to closing, including coordinating due diligence advisors and lenders and preparing investment committee materials.
• Asset management: Working closely with portfolio company management teams on strategy, investment decisions, budgets and day‑to‑day matters, taking part in board work and following performance.
• Exits: Supporting the preparation and execution of divestment processes.

You will collaborate closely with the full CapMan Infra investment team, portfolio company management, CapMan's platform teams (sustainability, legal, fund management, etc.) and external partners such as advisors and lenders. You will also work on projects across the Nordic region as part of cross‑border deal teams.

Who you are

To be successful in this role we believe that you have:

• Approx. 1‑4 years of experience from working within investment banking, private equity, management consulting, strategy and business development in one of CapMan Infra's target sectors, or similar
• Higher education degree in relevant area such as finance, economics or engineering
• Strong analytical skills and e.g. master the use of PowerPoint and Excel
• Fluency in Finnish and English
• Strong drive, proactiveness and team player skills
• Analytical and detail‑oriented mindset with excellent written and verbal presentation skills
• Hands‑on financial modelling experience and solid understanding of corporate finance
• Entrepreneurial attitude, intellectual curiosity and interest in acquiring and developing infrastructure businesses are a must

What we offer

At CapMan, you have the chance to make a meaningful impact from day one. As a leading private asset management company in the Nordics, we possess a unique opportunity and responsibility to help improve society through our investments.

Our most valuable asset to accomplish this is our talented and driven team. CapManians are characterized by ambition, results‑orientation and professionalism, feeling at home when working with challenging tasks, growing with large responsibility. With an entrepreneurial mindset, we help our assets and companies grow, while also being energized by developing our own business and skills

We offer competitive benefits and a central office location with the possibility to work remotely.

Our recruitment process

We hire for potential as well as experience. While certain skills and qualifications are important, we believe the ability to grow, adapt, and bring new perspectives matters just as much. Our recruitment process consists of a combination of screening questions, interviews, assessments, a case study and reference checks.

This is a permanent full-time position.

The position includes a probation period, during which you will be asked to complete a healthcare check, including drug screening conducted by our healthcare provider.
