Investment Analyst

The Role & Deliverables

We are looking for a stellar performer who is excited about both climate technology and investing, and looking to join one of the most active climate investors globally.

The Investment Analyst role will primarily focus on driving the financial and climate impact due diligence of venture capital, private equity and infrastructure funds, as well as co-investments (direct investments). For fund investments, this involves evaluating a fund manager’s impact approach, strategy, team, organizational set-up and financial track record. For co-investments, this includes diving into a specific company’s technology, target market, financial model and climate impact potential. Besides due diligence projects, the Investment Analyst will support on other tasks such as sourcing & screening, process improvement, and investor communication.
