As the head of sustainability, you will direct the environmental and social management systems for a major African-focused private credit fund. You will take full ownership of the investment lifecycle, from conducting initial risk screenings to monitoring portfolio company compliance with international standards. This involves translating complex regulatory and impact data into clear, actionable insights for the investment committee.
This role is a unique opportunity to drive measurable development impact across the African continent. By integrating climate finance goals and gender-lens investing into private debt, you ensure that capital flows toward projects that foster job creation and social equity. You will be the vital link between institutional investors seeking responsible returns and emerging market enterprises striving for sustainable growth.
This suits someone who possesses a deep commercial mindset and extensive experience in emerging markets finance. You should be a high-level communicator comfortable navigating both high-finance boardrooms and on-the-ground technical audits in diverse cultural contexts.
