Department: Natural Capital, Real Assets
Location: London / Edinburgh
Role Overview
Exposure to a multi-award-winning team and £250m natural capital portfolio - the UK’s largest privately coordinated afforestation initiative in a generation. Working across a portfolio that holistically integrates timber, carbon, and biodiversity outcomes. Direct involvement in delivering long-term value for institutional investors and deep environmental and social impact.
We are seeking an Analyst to join Foresight’s Natural Capital team, working across the full investment lifecycle — from investment and transaction execution through to long-term asset management.
On the investment side, the role will involve supporting the execution of investments across the full lifecycle, including deal origination, bid analysis, financial modelling, due diligence, and transaction execution. This will include evaluating new natural capital, forestry, and land-based opportunities, with a focus on multi-income potential including timber, carbon, grants, and other revenue streams. The Analyst will contribute to the preparation of Investment Committee materials, support live transactions through to acquisition, and assist with exit and divestment processes where required.
On the asset management side, the role will involve supporting the ongoing management and performance of Foresight’s forestry and natural capital portfolios. This includes exposure to core asset management disciplines such as financial analysis, performance monitoring, reporting, data management, and stakeholder coordination. The Analyst will work with internal teams and third-party managers to ensure effective operational delivery and contribute to consistent, high-quality reporting across the portfolio.
