We are seeking a commercially astute Chief Financial Officer to join a mission-driven private equity platform investing exclusively in clean energy infrastructure. With capital already deployed across solar, wind, storage, and decarbonisation assets, this is a rare opportunity to take a seat at the leadership table and shape the financial framework of a firm, enabling the global shift to net zero.

As CFO, you will lead the finance function during a high-growth period marked by strategic consolidation, institutional capital inflow, and preparation for long-term liquidity events. You will act as a key business partner to the CEO and Investment Committee, playing a central role in driving value creation across both fund and platform levels.

Collaborate with senior leadership on M&A, divestitures, and debt structuring
Manage relationships with limited partners, lenders, legal advisors, and auditors
Build and mentor a lean, high-performing finance team ready to scale
Support the CEO and board on strategic and financial decision-making

The Finance Leader We Are Looking For

Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent) with strong financial leadership credentials
Proven CFO or Finance Director level experience within private equity, infrastructure funds, or energy investment
Strong understanding of renewable energy project finance, fund structuring, and investor governance
Experience creating scalable financial systems and reporting structures across business units
Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging at the Board and LP level
Detail-oriented and proactive leader with a collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset

What We Offer

Mission-driven team committed to advancing clean energy and decarbonisation
Exposure to multi-billion dollar deal flow and high-profile transactions
Opportunity to shape the trajectory of a platform set for global expansion
Hybrid working flexibility with a New York base office
