Job description

As Investment Manager, you will lead Great Yellow's efforts to secure investment for our nature restoration projects. Your primary focus will be developing and executing our capital-raising strategy, building relationships with institutional investors and corporate sustainability leaders, and working closely with our CEO, team, and advisors to open new doors and drive investment into our Natural Capital Companies (NCCs).

This is a high-impact, revenue-generating role that requires a deep understanding of natural capital markets, corporate finance, and infrastructure investment structures. You will work closely with our NCC, Trading, and Platform teams to align investor needs with our pipeline of nature-based solutions.

  • Identify and develop new revenue streams for Great Yellow by structuring financial products that link investors and nature-based projects.
  • Support strategic decisions on capital deployment models, such as direct investment into nature restoration programs versus fund structures aligned with GY's long term business objectives.
  • Lay the foundations for a future Capital Raising team as Great Yellow grows.
• Investor Engagement
  • Build relationships and expand partnerships with investment funds, institutional investors, and corporate sustainability leaders.
  • Build confidence in NCCs as an investable asset class by educating investors and navigating regulatory, financial, and ESG considerations.
  • Develop and deliver compelling investor pitches, presentations, and impact reports that drive capital commitments.
  • Lead or support investor due diligence, ensuring transparent communication and alignment with financial and sustainability goals.
• Scaling Investment into Nature Restoration
  • Collaborate with the Trading team to integrate NCCs into broader natural capital markets, helping to scale investment mechanisms.
  • Stay ahead of market trends, regulatory shifts, and investor expectations, adapting our capital raising strategy accordingly.
  • Represent Great Yellow at industry conferences, investor forums, and policy discussions, building our profile as a leader in nature-based finance.

About You

• 5-7 years of experience in corporate finance, infrastructure finance, investment banking, or sustainable finance.
• Proven track record of securing investment deals in real estate, infrastructure, natural capital, impact investing, or related sectors.
• Expertise in deal structuring and investment vehicles. Ability to understand and work with blended finance plans.
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to engage investors and drive high-value, long-term partnerships.
• Passion for sustainability and nature restoration, with an understanding of carbon markets, biodiversity finance, and ESG investing.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability, and enthusiasm for building something new.

Why Join Great Yellow?

• Be part of an innovative start-up that's breaking new ground in finance and ecological restoration.
• Engage in meaningful work with the potential to make a lasting impact on the planet.
• Work alongside a passionate and diverse team in an environment that values flexibility, autonomy, and growth.
