Remote · USA Full-time New today

500 Global is seeking a highly experienced investment professional to help advance our climate investment efforts, with a focus on emerging markets and scalable solutions in the Global South. This role will play an important part in identifying high-impact opportunities and supporting the growth of innovative companies addressing critical climate challenges.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in climate-focused investing, a proven track record of delivering intentional and measurable climate outcomes alongside financial returns, and a strong network across the climate capital stack and founder ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

Source and evaluate high-quality direct investment opportunities from seed through Series A/B stages, with a focus on climate sectors including CleanTech, AgriTech, NatureTech, and related sustainability fields.

Lead investment execution across the full lifecycle—evaluation, structuring, negotiation, and closing.

Provide hands-on support to founders and management teams in emerging markets, particularly in navigating complex regulatory environments, scaling in resource-constrained contexts, and building resilient, sustainable business models.

Monitor portfolio performance using financial, operational, and climate impact metrics; make informed recommendations on follow-ons, strategic support, and exit pathways aligned with fund objectives.

Engage actively with limited partners, DFIs, catalytic funders, and co-investors, helping to communicate the fund’s activities and strengthen alignment around our investment thesis.

Stay informed on emerging technologies, macro trends, and policy developments shaping climate innovation to support investment decision-making.

Collaborate closely with the broader investment team to drive portfolio success and foster partnerships across our climate initiatives.

Key Requirements

Extensive venture capital or growth investing experience with a clear focus on climate-focused sectors and scalable solutions in emerging markets.

Demonstrated track record of backing or building ventures that delivered intentional, measurable climate outcomes (mitigation, resilience, adaptation) alongside strong financial performance.

Strong sector fluency—understanding how AgriTech, CleanTech, and NatureTech solutions operate in emerging markets and, ideally, experience scaling technology in resource-constrained environments.

Well-established network across the climate capital landscape, including DFIs, catalytic funders, institutional LPs, and high-impact founder ecosystems.

Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to represent the fund’s work effectively across diverse audiences.

Deep commitment to sustainability and ethical investment practices, fully aligned with 500 Global’s mission and values.

Location is flexible; we are open to the right candidate based anywhere globally.
