Job description

Madison Hunt has been engaged by a leading global infrastructure and energy investment platform on a number of Associate-level hires within its London-based investment team, reflecting continued growth across its European investing activity.

The platform is an active, principal equity investor, deploying capital across Europe and North America through value-add and core-plus infrastructure private equity, complemented by bespoke structured and hybrid equity solutions where complexity, structuring judgment, and downside protection are critical. The investment focus spans energy transition, digital infrastructure, transportation, and industrial decarbonisation.

Operating at the intersection of real assets and private markets, the team combines the intellectual rigour and pace of a top-tier private equity platform with the flexibility required to solve complex capital problems. The investment group is deliberately lean and highly selective, offering Associates early responsibility and exposure that is uncommon at this stage.

The Role

Associates will play a meaningful role in the evaluation, structuring, and execution of equity and structured equity investments, working closely with senior investors across the full investment lifecycle.

Responsibilities include:

• Building and owning detailed financial models for infrastructure equity and structured equity investments, including LBO and bespoke return frameworks
• Analysing risk, return, and capital structure dynamics from an equity-holder’s perspective, with a focus on value creation and downside protection
• Supporting the structuring of hybrid equity solutions, including preferred equity and bespoke governance and return mechanisms
• Taking responsibility for discrete diligence workstreams and interacting directly with advisors, management teams, and counterparties
• Supporting investment committee materials and participating in senior-level investment discussions
• Contributing to active asset management and post-investment value creation initiatives

Candidate Profile

We are seeking individuals with:

• 2-4 years’ experience in a leading infrastructure, energy, or adjacent investment banking platform (M&A or infrastructure advisory) or a highly regarded infrastructure private equity fund
• Excellent financial modelling skills with a focus on equity value creation, structuring, and scenario analysisExperience working on complex transactions requiring judgment beyond standardised templatesA clear, well-articulated interest in infrastructure and energy investing from an ownership perspectiveIntellectual curiosity, strong commercial instincts, and the ability to operate in a demanding, high-performance environment

Due to the volume and calibre of interest across Madison Hunt’s current infrastructure mandates, we are only able to respond to candidates who closely meet the above criteria.
