- Monitor portfolio companies post-investment, tracking both financial performance and impact KPIs
- Support portfolio companies with strategic guidance on scaling their impact and improving unit economics
- Research emerging trends in impact investing, ESG integration, and blended finance structures
You’ll stand out if you bring:
- A background in consulting from MBB, Big Four, or boutique firms with exposure to social impact, sustainability, or ESG work
- 2-4 years of experience in investment analysis, private equity, venture capital, or management consulting
- Strong financial modelling skills and comfort building DCF models, comparables analysis, and scenario planning
- Genuine understanding of impact measurement frameworks and the ability to evaluate non-financial outcomes
