• Access global capital and a pathway to global scale
• Innovative tech & sustainability focused investments
No-ego, fact-driven collaborative culture with access to highest echelons of the organisation
This role represents a unique opportunity to work with one of Australia's most iconic brands and be a part of a world-first Global Corporate Venture Fund. With an established strategic partnership with some of the biggest businesses in the sector globally, my client offers unique and innovative businesses unparalleled pathways to global scale and the ability to maximise their potential at an accelerated rate. The Lead Investor plays a critical role in leading and executing this global mandate and will join the team in Sydney to invest in unique, high-potential and high-performing retail-tech and climate-tech businesses.
The Lead Investor plays a critical role in the success of the strategy and is responsible for leading sustainability focused deals through the entire investment process. The role will be responsible for everything from building a strong pipeline of global deal flow, evaluation of potential deals, conducting due diligence, developing the investment case and subsequently leading the execution of the investment.
This is a key appointment for the team and we are looking for someone who brings 7+ years’ experience working in direct investment, investment banking, M&A advisory or transaction-focused corporate development. We will also consider profiles outside of these areas if they bring demonstrable transaction experience. The successful candidate will have a passion for sustainability investing, a desire to understand new industries and businesses and display a genuine curiosity in how they approach investing. This candidate will be joining a data-driven, collaborative team with a flat structure and “no ego” culture where a desire to be in the detail and to be hands on is considered an imperative. Finally, we need someone who is commercially minded in their critical assessment of investment opportunities whilst remaining open-minded and inquisitive, as befits a genuinely broad and unique investment mandate.
Applicants must have full working rights in place for Australia to be considered for this opportunity.
