• 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 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 first hand in their current role.
