CLEAN ENERGY:
Our Clean Energy infrastructure team makes direct equity investments in carbon-reducing renewable energy power generation, from late-stage development through to commercial operations. Capital Dynamics is one of the largest UK onshore wind operators and has invested in one of the largest subsidy-free solar PV portfolios in Europe, achieving enhanced value from projects through our dedicated asset management affiliate, NetroEnergy Limited.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
This is a rare opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, high-growth clean energy platform in the role of Vice President, Clean Energy - working alongside an experienced leadership team to help shape the business's next phase of growth. Reporting to a Senior Managing Director, you will build, manage, and operate the financial models that underpin the team's investment decisions, and lead workstreams through the due diligence phase of a deal - with a particular focus on opportunities in the Spanish, Italian, German and broader European markets.
You will develop valuable relationships with companies, financiers and other partners across the renewables space, while contributing to ongoing valuations, investor reporting, capital raising and the asset management of our current portfolio. Ideally, you will also bring experience leading or mentoring junior colleagues at Analyst or Associate level.
WHAT SETS A STRONG CANDIDATE APART:
We're looking for a Vice President with genuine buy-side pedigree, not purely advisory or sell-side experience. Specifically, we're keen to see:
- Prior experience at a private equity firm, infrastructure fund, or similar buy-side asset management platform.
- An existing network of developers, financiers, and industry contacts you can draw on to originate new opportunities - not just execute on deals someone else has sourced.
- Genuine comfort leading a deal cycle end-to-end - from origination and negotiation through to due diligence and closing - rather than supporting one led by others.
- Proven experience working on asset-level investments - not just portfolio acquisitions.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT — ESSENTIAL:
You must be fluent in English, plus one of German, Spanish, Polish or a Nordic Language (Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish). Our Clean Energy portfolio spans Spanish, German and Wider European markets, so this is a genuine day-to-day requirement - candidates who don't meet it won't be able to progress.
