We are looking to speak with Investment Managers and Principals with 5–8 years’ experience in sourcing, evaluating and executing European growth-stage investments within the energy transition space.

The Opportunity

The business invests in high-growth, scalable enterprises driving industrial and environmental transformation, with a European investment focus spanning climate-focused solutions and tech infrastructure.

The company is entering a key growth phase and is ready for the next stage of its investment strategy and to expand its investment capability.

The successful candidate will work closely with Partners throughout the full investment lifecycle.

While the role does not include individuals who report directly to you, you would be expected to support and develop more junior investment colleagues.

• Lead or support commercial, financial and strategic due diligence.

• Build relationships with founders, management teams, advisers and wider market stakeholders.
• Support junior colleagues across analysis, deal processes and investment decision-making.

Qualifications & Experience

• Five to eight years of relevant investment, corporate finance, M&A, private-equity, venture-capital or strategy experience.
• A demonstrable record of completed investments or transactions.
• Strong experience in investment sourcing, thesis development and ownership of transaction processes.
• Commercial and financial judgement, supported by strong modelling and valuation capability.
• Experience across growth stages (Early to Expansion stage) would be valuable.
• Interest in energy-transition technologies, infrastructure or climate-focused businesses.
• Confident communication and relationship-building skills across senior stakeholders and founders.

This opportunity offers genuine end-to-end deal exposure, close access to senior decision-makers and the chance to shape investments that support the energy transition.

For investment professionals looking to step into a Principal-level remit, it provides a credible route to broaden deal ownership, deepen sector expertise and build long-term influence within a specialist investment platform.
