Job Description:

Madison Hunt is partnered with the investment arm of a prominent US insurance business looking to build upon existing capital commitments within their climate investment strategy. Given the market tailwinds in climate investing, our client sees attractive opportunities across this theme and is looking to hire a senior investment professional to lead and develop their climate strategy, a priority area of growth for the CIO and CEO.

• The ideal candidate must be a seasoned funds and co-investing private markets investment professional with at least fifteen years' experience and at least ten years' experience with hands-on returns-focused climate investing.
• They will have developed strong industry relationships, have a recent deal history, and a track record across climate and sustainability themes, specifically through primary and co-investments.
• The candidate will also have experience in building strategies, sourcing, and executing investments, leading, and mentoring a team.
• There will be a requirement for frequent travel to the US and an option for the candidate to relocate to the US office either now or in the future.
• The role itself could be based out of offices in London or their headquarters in the US, so we will be open to discussing with candidates in either location.

The firm already has significant capital committed to climate investments, with ambitious targets for deployment in the coming years, as well as a budget to scale the function. The business conceptualizes the strategy as a thematic overlay across numerous investment verticals, and candidates must have experience of this firsthand in their current role.
