This role offers significant responsibility across the full investment lifecycle, from origination and underwriting through execution and portfolio management.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and execute investments across acquisitions, growth equity, structured capital solutions, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships.

  • Support negotiation of transaction documentation and commercial agreements alongside advisors and counterparties.
  • Prepare investment memoranda and recommendations for senior management and investment committees.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders to evaluate opportunities and ensure investments align with broader commercial objectives.
  • Assist with portfolio company oversight, value creation initiatives, refinancing efforts, capital planning, and exit preparation.
  • Develop relationships with management teams, advisors, lenders, investors, and other industry participants.
  • Mentor and oversee junior team members throughout the investment process.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience in private equity, principal investing, infrastructure investing, corporate development, investment banking, or related investment roles.
  • Demonstrated experience executing transactions from evaluation through closing.
  • Strong financial modeling, valuation, and transaction structuring skills.
  • Experience within energy, power, infrastructure, natural resources, or other asset-intensive sectors preferred.
  • Strong commercial judgment, communication skills, and ability to manage multiple stakeholders.
