Portfolio Manager, Energy Transition - Private Credit & Venture Debt

Job Description

We're recruiting for a Portfolio Manager - Associate Director, with a client in the Private Credit/Venture Debt space, covering Impact Investing across Energy Transition, Fintech, and Venture Lending.

Salary wise, base salary is c. £100,000 + competitive bonus.

The firm sits at the intersection of Tech/AI & Private Capital/Lending - they have a Proprietary Platform that's generated substantial Institutional interest, dubbed the future of how lending operates.

The position sits within the risk function (reporting into the MD of Risk/acting CRO) but offers much broader exposure beyond traditional corporate credit. While credit analysis is a key component, the team is looking for someone with a strong corporate finance perspective (someone who understands balance sheets, cash flow, and financial structuring at the company level, not just from a portfolio monitoring standpoint).

Founded in 2014, they've scaled quickly in the past few years to c. £400m AUM - on track to hit £1bn AUM in 2-3 years. They've raised four funds, all oversubscribed - traditionally Impact Investing across Energy Transition, Fintech, and Venture Debt. They're launching a new Decarbonation Fund - their largest to date and are looking to hire someone to support its deployment.

The company is incredibly proud of their culture - they're very pro-hybrid, with a mature and flexible culture, where you're expected to work hard, but equally, in any way that suits you. Employees are encouraged to take gym classes, drop off children, work from home - with the important caveat that the work gets done, and to a high level of performance.

The role will manage a portfolio of the fund's clients, with responsibilities spanning commercial decision-making/portfolio recommendations (with respect to lending facilities), loan/portfolio monitoring, dealing with borrowers, and restructuring where necessary. It's very client-oriented, and whilst not strictly origination-focused, the role could progress into this area if you wanted, and you'll be given scope to develop on either side of the business, depending on your preference.
