Senior Product Manager (Clean Energy Investments) London

About Capital Dynamics:

Capital Dynamics is an independent global asset management firm focusing on private assets, including private equity (primaries, secondaries and direct investments) and clean energy.

Established in 1988, the Firm has extensive knowledge and experience developing solutions tailored to meet the exacting needs of a diverse and global client base of institutional and private wealth investors. Capital Dynamics oversees more than USD 14 billion in assets under management and advisement and employs approximately 150 professionals globally across 14 offices in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Capital Dynamics is a recognized industry leader in responsible investment, receiving top marks (Five Stars) from PRI across all categories and investment strategies, as well as in GRESB benchmarking for its clean energy strategy.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Capital Dynamics' Product Development & Strategy (PDS) team launches every product on the CD platform and owns several of the firm's most critical strategic initiatives, including its ESG programme. Clean Energy sits at the centre of that growth story: we are one of the largest UK onshore wind operators and hold one of the largest subsidy-free solar PV portfolios in Europe, with value further enhanced through our dedicated asset management affiliate, NetroEnergy Limited.

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager with genuine presence and gravitas to represent our growing Clean Energy investment business - someone equally comfortable in a boardroom with senior leadership and in front of a room of institutional investors. This is a senior, highly visible role built around influence rather than headcount: you'll be supported by one junior team member, and your impact will come from the calibre of your thinking, the strength of your relationships, and your ability to move investment committees, colleagues and prospective LPs - not from the size of a team beneath you.

You will bring deep knowledge of the clean energy infrastructure equity and debt markets, meaningful existing relationships with investors in the sector, and the ability to get quickly up to speed on a complex, fast-moving business. Working closely with the Clean Energy Investment team, you'll cultivate prospective investors, deepen relationships with our established client base, analyse the LP market for new capital, and drive genuinely original product innovation for the business.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN:

• Lead the creation, launch and coordination of creative marketing strategies for clean energy investment products, in line with fundraising goals and process.
• Take full responsibility for the compilation of fund offering documents and due diligence materials.
• Drive genuine product innovation for the Clean Energy business - bringing original, commercially astute thinking to new product structures and positioning, rather than defaulting to convention.
• Oversee the completion of RFPs, surveys and due diligence questionnaires.

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Cultivate prospective investors and deepen relationships with our established client base, acting as a credible, senior-level point of contact for the business.
• Analyse the LP market to identify potential clean energy infrastructure investors and shape our approach to engaging them.
• Act as first point of contact for the sales team - prioritising requests and resource allocation, and serving as the interface between sales and the investment management team.
• Manage the creation of client communications, reports and investment summaries, partnering closely with client relations and investment management.

Insight, ESG & Profile

• Lead the integration of ESG initiatives into all Clean Energy products.
• Oversee production of the annual Clean Energy sustainability report and other bespoke reporting.
• Coordinate regular updates to all client-facing materials, including the due diligence data site, funds track record and company website.
• Conduct and update competitor analysis in collaboration with research and investment management.
• Create bespoke materials for roadshows, events and conferences, representing Capital Dynamics with credibility at senior industry gatherings.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

Experience

• years in a similar Private Equity Infrastructure, Renewable Energy or Clean Energy investments product development and/or investor relations leadership role, ideally at a buy side firm.
• Ideally can illustrate experience managing the lauch of minimum of two (2) clean energy / renewable infrastructure fund / product.
• Excellent technical financial knowledge and analytical ability, including financial ratios such as IRR, NPV and dividend yield.
• Proven, process oriented project management ability.
• A deep track record of writing top quality, high impact professional presentations, using original ideas where necessary.

Skills & Attributes

• Mature, creative, solutions oriented thinking with a genuine "driver" personality and the gravitas to represent the business externally.
• Ability to write and edit content with a very high degree of precision, and exceptional attention to detail across your own work and others'.
• Comfortable operating with minimal supervision or structure - a self starter capable of running high impact initiatives without a large team behind you.
• Willingness to work in a performance driven, high pressure environment.
• High proficiency in MS Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

Education & Qualifications

• Minimum 2:1 degree from a recognised university, in Business, Finance, Responsible Investment, Renewable Energy or a related field.

Language

• Fluent English with superior writing skills - essential.
• Additional language skills desirable but not essential, preferably Italian, Spanish, German, French, Korean or Japanese.
