The projected global increases in the sector in coming decades make it particularly appealing for large private investors, such as pension funds. Research from the International Renewable Energy Association (IRENA) shows that approximately 20% of private investors have invested indirectly in renewables in the past 20 years, with around $12bn invested directly and indirectly up to 2018.

A number of senior and mid-level positions are now open at this leading investment platform, and we are looking to speak to candidates in the sector matching the skillsets detailed below.
