Investment Director

Palisade Real Assets, a mid-market real assets manager focused on investments adjacent to traditional core infrastructure with a particular focus on decarbonisation, is hiring an Investment Director to take a leading role in the performance and value creation of its infrastructure portfolio. This senior infrastructure asset management and portfolio leadership role has an initial focus on the firm's growing UK and European biogas platforms.

The Investment Director will work directly with portfolio company CEOs, leadership teams, and Boards, turning investment strategy into measurable operational, commercial, and financial results. Duties include leading asset management across key infrastructure investments, developing and overseeing value creation plans, serving as a Director, Chair, or Board Observer across portfolio companies, and partnering with CEOs and management teams on strategy, performance, and growth. The role also covers driving operational and commercial optimisation, monitoring financial, operational, ESG, and strategic performance, supporting acquisitions, post-acquisition integration, capex deployment and refinancing, and contributing to Investment Committee discussions and portfolio reviews.

Palisade is looking for someone with significant experience in infrastructure investment, asset management, private equity, or real assets, who combines strong commercial judgement with a hands-on approach to value creation and is comfortable operating at Board and executive level. The role may suit individuals currently working as an Investment Director/Associate Director, Asset Management Director, Portfolio Director, Principal, or Senior Director in a similar senior infrastructure investment or asset management capacity. As a small, entrepreneurial investment business, Palisade offers direct access to decision-makers and meaningful influence over both the assets the firm owns and how its investment platform develops. Base pay range: £200,000-£220,000/yr.
