Associate Director/Senior Associate of Investments (Private Markets)

Overview

We are seeking an Associate Director/Senior Associate of Investments to join our mission-driven team. This position will be based in Hong Kong and will support private investments, including a focus on nature catalytic capital initiative. While this role will be a good fit for someone who is already active in impact investing, it will also be an excellent opportunity for someone who has more of an impact-first mindset and is passionate about investing in nature and biodiversity-related opportunities.

Skills & Requirements

1. Experience with private investments (impact-first experience with asset managers, foundations or family offices is a plus) and ability to source, conduct due diligence and monitor such investments.
2. Broader experience in sustainable, impact or philanthropic investing is a plus, but not critical if there is strong passion, internal motivation to support early-stage founders/fund managers, and genuine desire to learn.
3. Excellent project management skills and ability to manage multiple projects in a timely, disciplined and detailed manner.
4. Experience with financial modelling and investment analysis/memo drafting.
5. Comfortable working in a less institutional and unstructured small-team environment, with the ability to embrace ambiguity and change.
6. Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written.
7. Ability to work independently, proactively ask questions, and collaborate with people with different perspectives and mindsets.
8. Analytical mindset with the ability to switch between strategic/system-level thinking and practical, action-oriented execution.
9. Discreet individual with ability to handle sensitive and confidential information.

Education & Experience

1. Minimum 7–10 years of relevant working experience for the Associate Director position (impact-first organisations, traditional PE/VC, asset management, corporate finance or related firms).
2. Candidates with fewer years of experience but with financial modelling and deal execution experience may be considered for a Senior Associate position.
3. Previous experience in a family office environment is a plus.
4. Bachelor’s degree or above (CFA is a plus).
5. Good command of written and spoken English (Chinese is a plus)
