We have built broad private market capabilities powered by the innovative spirit of a boutique and the resources and stability of a global investment manager. We aim to use our global scale, sector research, sustainability expertise and market reach to help partner with innovative, disruptive companies in the private market. Today, we invest globally and focus on consumer, technology, health care, biotechnology, financial services, and climate technology. Our industry networks, deep insights, and our private and public markets expertise make us strong partners for entrepreneurs.

The investment strategy will span a broad set of sectors including energy, buildings, smart cities, industrial efficiency, mobility, and food and agriculture, typically with tech-enabled applications and solutions. The Associate will be involved in all aspects of the deal process and will work directly with our senior investment team to assist in the sourcing, diligence, and management of portfolio companies and operation of the fund. The ideal candidate will be a self-directed, hard-working team player who is passionate about both private investing and climate adaptation/mitigation.
