Perform detailed field due diligences with a focus on financial and impact-driven themes.

Your Profile

We are seeking candidates with an advanced degree in finance or economics and minimum of 5 years of finance experience, ideally with a strong interest and proven experience in the agro/food sector.

We appreciate candidates who are passionate about agriculture and agrofinance and who approach their work with an entrepreneurial, proactive, and result-oriented mindset.

Strong analytical skills, a hands-on attitude, and the ability to perform well under stress are essential. Excellent English communication skills are a must, and knowledge of French would be a beneficial addition.
This role requires a commitment to present complex investment opportunities to sophisticated professional counterparts.
