Director Product Strategy & Investor Relations - Clean Energy Investments

ABOUT CAPITAL DYNAMICS

Capital Dynamics is an independent global asset management firm focused on private assets, including private equity (primaries, secondaries and direct investments) and clean energy. Established in 1988, we oversee more than USD 15 billion in assets under management and advisement, with approximately 150 professionals across 14 offices in Europe, North America and Asia. We are a recognised industry leader in responsible investment, holding Five Star PRI ratings across all categories and strategies, and achieving strong GRESB benchmarking results for our 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. 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.

We're looking for a senior investments 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 Director level, 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 strategise and develop a market leading product strategy, and influence investment committees, colleagues, and prospective LPs.

You will bring deep knowledge of the UK and/or European clean energy / renewables 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 Co-Heads of the Clean Energy Investment team, you will 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:

Product Development, Marketing & Fundraising

• Lead the creation, launch, and coordination of creative marketing strategies for the 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.

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 the first point of contact for the business development – 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 & Profile

• Coordinate regular updates to all client-facing materials, including the due diligence data site, funds track record, and company website.
• Create bespoke materials for roadshows, events and conferences, representing Capital Dynamics with credibility at senior industry gatherings.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING:

Experience:

• Minimum of 10 to 15 years in a similar Renewable Energy, Clean Energy or Private Equity Infrastructure investments product development and / or investor relations leadership role, ideally at a buy-side firm.
• 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

• Highly creative, solutions-oriented thinker 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'.
• Real gravitas and executive presence, comfortable representing Capital Dynamics at the most senior levels, internally and externally.
• A genuinely innovative thinker who brings fresh perspectives to product positioning and investor engagement, rather than defaulting to what's been done before.
• Resourceful and autonomous – able to prioritise and deliver at pace with a lean team of two, rather than relying on scale.
• Exceptional stakeholder management – equally credible briefing internal leadership and building trust with external institutional investors.

Education & Qualifications:

• Minimum 2:1 degree from a recognised university, in Business, Finance, Responsible Investment, Renewable Energy, or a related field.
• A keen interest in Responsible Investment and targets such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, or a genuine willingness to learn.

Language:

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