Job Description:

Background

The Infrastructure Investments Group ("IIG" or the "Group") advises an open-ended, perpetual strategy that offers investors a moderate-risk, long-term approach to infrastructure equity investing that is diversified both in terms of geography and subsector. The strategy has c. US$17 billion of AUM invested across 19 portfolio companies with a focus on contracted power generation, utilities, and transportation infrastructure. The strategy invests primarily in infrastructure companies and assets located in the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and secondarily in other OECD countries.

IIG targets sustained growth through both new investments and capital deployment via bolt-on acquisitions to existing platform companies. The Group seeks to invest in companies and assets where it has a control position or where its rights permit significant management influence. IIG personnel strive to add value to these investments via the formulation and implementation of business process improvements, active asset management and board participation. Unlike closed-end products, the Group's open-ended strategy allows for greater discretion on timing of investments and divestitures.

The Infrastructure Investments Group is seeking to hire an Associate - Investment Principal to play an integral role in acquisition and subsequent management of infrastructure companies and assets. This includes sourcing, underwriting, performing due diligence on, and closing new investments, as well as creating value in existing investments through board participation and partnership with executive management teams.
