Investment Director Deploying Capital Into the Energy Transition

Investment Director – Deploying Capital Into the Energy Transition

The Mission

The clean energy transition doesn't happen without capital — patient, well -structured, strategically deployed capital. Our client provides exactly that.

They're a respected UK -based private equity firm focused entirely on renewable energy infrastructure. Solar, wind, storage — they back the assets that matter, with a long -term ownership mindset and a track record of getting complex deals done. The firm is growing, the pipeline is strong, and they're looking for a senior investment professional to help lead the next chapter.

This isn't a support role. It's a mandate.

The Opportunity

As Investment Director, you'll drive the full investment lifecycle — from origination and evaluation through execution, structuring, and active portfolio management. You'll work at the centre of a lean, high -calibre team, with direct influence over how the firm deploys capital and creates value across its clean energy portfolio.

You'll bring your own deal instincts, your own relationships, and your own view on where the best opportunities sit in the UK market right now.
