Investment Director

About Us

Morrison is a leading global infrastructure manager with approximately USD$35 billion in assets under management and more than 200 specialists across eight global offices. We invest on behalf of sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and leading institutions, including Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank (SMTB). Our investments serve enduring societal needs, including energy transition, digital connectivity, mobility, ageing populations and the circular economy.

We are a global firm with a local approach and a one-team culture. We are now looking for an Investment Director to help shape our growth in Japan and across Asia.

About the Role

Based in Singapore and reporting to the Executive Director, Asia, you will originate, execute and manage infrastructure investments. Your main focus will be Japan, with additional opportunities across Asia (excluding ANZ).

This is a senior role where you will own the full deal from start to finish.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

• Originate and lead transactions: build and prioritise the pipeline, run the deal process, make the key tactical decisions and lead negotiations with vendors.
• Own the investment case: take full responsibility for the risk/return profile, lead due diligence priorities and present your recommendations to the Investment Committee.
• Structure equity and debt: lead discussions with co-investors, governance and shareholder agreements, and management incentive arrangements. You will also direct leverage strategy and bank negotiations.
• Drive portfolio value: serve as a Board Director, execute the investment thesis, help shape company strategy and lead CEO appointments.
• Represent Morrison: maintain senior relationships with corporates, banks and advisors, and speak at industry events.

About You
You are an Investment Director or equivalent with:

• 7+ years' experience in infrastructure or private equity, ideally in heavy industrial or capital-intensive sectors.
• You have a proven ability to source deals in Japan and an established network to match.
• You have experience across several of our themes, such as renewables and storage, data centres, fibre and towers, transport, waste, water, social infrastructure and next-generation infrastructure.
• You have strong experience as a principal investor or advisor, including preparing IC papers and valuations and presenting them for approval.
• You can lead investment teams and influence stakeholders at every level, from analysts to boards and capital providers.
• You bring an entrepreneurial, hands-on, team-first mindset and are willing to travel frequently.
• You have business-level Japanese (written and verbal). This is essential.

Why Morrison?

You will have the scale and backing of a global infrastructure leader, including our client relationship with SMTB, one of Japan's leading financial institutions. You will also have the autonomy of a growing, entrepreneurial Asia team. Your role will be pivotal in building our presence in one of the region's most important infrastructure markets.
