We are seeking an experienced Investment Director to lead the origination, evaluation and execution of infrastructure and climate equity investments across Africa and South Asia. The role will focus on identifying opportunities that deliver strong financial returns alongside measurable environmental and social impact, with particular emphasis on renewable energy, sustainable transport, digital infrastructure, climate resilience, resource efficiency and related sectors. You will develop investment theses, build relationships with sponsors, entrepreneurs, development finance institutions, governments and co-investors, and maintain a high-quality pipeline across target markets.
Responsibilities will include leading transaction teams through commercial, financial, legal, technical, environmental and social due diligence; preparing investment memoranda and recommendations for internal approval; structuring and negotiating equity investments; and overseeing execution through completion. You will take an active role in portfolio management, including monitoring financial and impact performance, supporting value creation plans, engaging with management teams and contributing to follow-on investment decisions and exits.

Applicants should bring substantial experience in private equity, infrastructure investment, project finance, investment banking or a closely related field, with a strong track record of originating and executing transactions in emerging markets. Experience in climate finance, energy transition or sustainable infrastructure is highly desirable, as is direct exposure to African and/or South Asian markets.
