Job description

Key Responsibilities

Investment Leadership

• Lead the commercial structuring and investment positioning of A Healthier Earth’s projects — spanning carbon removal, circular economy infrastructure, and regenerative energy systems.
• Build robust, flexible financial models that inform strategy, support fundraising, and withstand investor diligence.
• Develop and refine project business cases that integrate technical feasibility, customer value, and capital structuring.
• Prepare and deliver investment materials, term sheets, risk analyses, and investor-facing presentations.
• Represent A Healthier Earth in front of capital partners — including PE funds, infrastructure investors, lenders, family offices, and DFIs.
• Guide projects through investment readiness milestones — managing commercial risks, capital stack design, and execution timelines.

Market Strategy & Capital Alignment

• Monitor global carbon market trends, policy movements, and pricing signals to inform investment strategy.
• Work with internal carbon and sales teams to ensure our project economics reflect buyer expectations and long-term offtake potential.
• Shape commercial models that align with carbon market signals while remaining investable for institutional equity and debt partners.
• Identify and engage aligned capital partners based on mandate fit, risk appetite, and climate impact alignment.
• Contribute to cross-functional prioritisation of projects based on financial readiness, scalability, and investor traction.

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Work closely with technical leads, carbon teams, external advisors, and project delivery colleagues to drive project progression.
• Support legal and commercial negotiations from the capital perspective, helping ensure bankability and alignment with investor needs.
• Help build internal investment capability — including tools, templates, processes, and coaching of junior team members.
• Engage with customers and partners to understand their commercial drivers and align these with financial structuring.

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 7–12 years in climate investment, green infrastructure, project finance, or related institutional capital roles.
• Demonstrated success structuring and raising capital for large-scale sustainable infrastructure or carbon projects.
• Deep familiarity with project finance, blended capital structures, and investor diligence processes.
• Experience engaging with institutional investors — including infrastructure equity, private credit, or public-private funds.
• Strong commercial judgement with the ability to connect customer value, policy dynamics, and financial risk-return profiles.
• High level of comfort engaging directly with investors, fund partners, and senior stakeholders.

Skills & Attributes

• Excellent communicator, able to synthesise technical detail into compelling investment narratives.
• Proven financial modeller and commercial strategist with high attention to detail.
• Curious, collaborative, and purpose-driven — able to work across disciplines with humility and rigour.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable leading in ambiguity and building structure where it doesn’t yet exist.

Not Required

• Familiarity with carbon credit markets, climate policy, or nature-based solutions.
• Experience in modelling impact-adjusted returns or carbon-linked revenues.
• Background working with international partners, DFIs, or blended finance initiatives.
