ODM Partners Exclusive Retained Search
ODM Partners have been retained exclusively to appoint a senior investor for a leading global infrastructure and energy transition investor.
The role sits within a dedicated investment platform focused on renewable energy and the broader energy transition. The team has access to multiple pools of capital with different return and duration requirements, providing the flexibility to invest across the energy-transition spectrum, from mature, long-duration renewable infrastructure through to higher-growth companies and platform investments.
The individual will take meaningful responsibility across both existing portfolio companies and new investment activity. The successful candidate will be expected to assume board responsibility, work closely with management teams and actively influence strategic, commercial and operational decisions, while continuing to contribute to origination, investment evaluation and transaction execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Take senior ownership of portfolio companies and work closely with management teams to drive performance and delivery of the investment thesis.
- Act as an active board representative, influencing strategic, commercial, financial and operational decisions.
- Lead value-creation and platform growth initiatives, including development, operational improvement, capital allocation, follow-on investment and bolt-on M&A.
- Apply strong commercial and investment judgement across complex portfolio situations, including performance, risk and strategic trade-offs.
- Originate, evaluate and execute new investments across renewable energy and the broader energy transition.
- Contribute to Investment Committee discussions and broader portfolio and investment strategy.
- Manage relationships with CEOs, co-investors and other stakeholders across complex shareholder environments.
- Support junior investment professionals and contribute to a collaborative, high-accountability investment team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
