Job description

What you’ll do

The Analyst/Associate will be an integral part of our investment team, supporting deal origination, executing rigorous investment analysis, and contributing to portfolio management across our target markets. Reporting directly to the Investment Director, the Analyst/Associate will bring sharp analytical skills and intellectual curiosity to complex, often first-of-kind transactions, and will play a hands-on role in the day-to-day work that drives the fund’s investment activity.

This role is suited to an early-career investor who thrives in ambiguity, is energized by working at the frontier of sustainable finance and natural capital, and is eager to build both rigorous analytical foundations and the on-the-ground experience needed to grow into a leadership role in natural capital investing.

Primary Responsibilities

Deal sourcing & pipeline development: Support the identification and screening of investment opportunities across reforestation, blue carbon, and sustainable agriculture and land use in emerging markets. Conduct initial opportunity assessment, and help maintain a well-organized and up-to-date deal pipeline. Apply the fund’s screening framework to evaluate opportunities against financial and impact criteria, and synthesize findings into clear briefing materials for the investment team.
Investment execution & due diligence: Play a central role in investment analysis for corporate and project-level opportunities, including building and stress-testing financial models, reviewing carbon methodologies, and researching legal, regulatory, and country risk considerations. Support the preparation of investment committee materials, contributing rigorous analysis and clear written commentary under the guidance of the Investment Director.
Portfolio management & value creation: Support ongoing monitoring of portfolio investments, tracking performance against KPIs and flagging emerging risks. Assist in preparing portfolio reports and maintaining up-to-date records of investee progress, helping to ensure the team has a clear and current picture of portfolio health.
Strategic partnerships: Support the research and mapping of potential strategic partners, including carbon credit offtakers, co-investors, and technical partners. Assist in preparing materials for partner engagement and help coordinate follow-up across active partnership conversations.
Investor relations (supporting): Contribute to the preparation of investor reports and updates by compiling accurate, well-presented data on deal progress and portfolio performance. Support the broader investor relations function with research, documentation, and coordination as needed.
