About Us
Palisade Real Assets is looking for an Investment Director to take a leading role in the performance and value creation of our infrastructure portfolio.
We are a mid-market real assets manager focused on investments adjacent to traditional core infrastructure, with a particular focus on decarbonisation.
This is a senior infrastructure asset management and portfolio leadership role, with an initial focus on our growing UK and European biogas platforms.
You’ll work directly with portfolio company CEOs, leadership teams and Boards. The focus is on turning investment strategy into measurable operational, commercial and financial results.
The Job
You’ll:
- Lead asset management across key infrastructure investments
- Develop and oversee value creation plans
- Serve as a Director, Chair or Board Observer across portfolio companies
- Partner with CEOs and management teams on strategy, performance and growth
- Drive operational improvement and commercial optimisation
- Monitor financial, operational, ESG and strategic performance
- Support acquisitions, post-acquisition integration, capex deployment and refinancing
- Work with the wider investment team throughout the investment lifecycle
- Contribute to Investment Committee discussions and portfolio reviews.
The Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for someone with significant experience in infrastructure investment, asset management, private equity or real assets.
You’ll combine strong commercial judgement with a hands-on approach to value creation. You should be comfortable working at Board and executive level, building strong relationships with management teams while providing constructive challenge and maintaining a clear focus on performance and shareholder outcomes.
This is a role for someone who can move easily between strategy and execution. That might mean working with a CEO on a growth plan, reviewing the performance of an asset, supporting an acquisition integration or helping a management team deliver an operational improvement programme.
PRA is a small, entrepreneurial investment business. That gives this role direct access to decision-makers and meaningful influence over both the assets we own and how our investment platform develops.
This role may suit individuals currently working as an Investment Director/Associate Director, Asset Management Director, Portfolio Director, Principal, Senior Director or in a similar senior infrastructure investment or asset management role.
