The world is changing, and so is the way we invest in it.
We are looking for a Senior Investment Manager who sees beyond the numbers—someone who understands that capital is not just financial; it is transformational.
This is an opportunity to execute investment strategies and manage and grow a portfolio of water sanitation, waste-to-energy, and ocean infrastructure assets for a leading blended finance fund manager.
You will navigate the intersection of finance, infrastructure, and climate impact, structuring deals that do not just generate returns but also reshape economies and ecosystems. We need an expert in investment strategy, risk management, and deal structuring to turn bold ideas into bankable projects.
You will implement investment and fundraising strategies and conduct due diligence on potential investment opportunities. You must have 10+ years in investment banking, corporate finance, or infrastructure investment, a CFA, CA, or MBA, and a proven ability to work across technical/financial and legal aspects of transactions.
If you have experience working in Africa or other emerging markets, you just scored bonus points. Apply today!
