Investment Associate

Job Description

Madison Hunt has been engaged by a mid-market core infrastructure investor on an Investment Associate search for their London team. The platform invests in green and brownfield projects across transport, social infrastructure, transmission & utilities, as well as contracted digital infrastructure assets. The strategy is primarily Europe-focused, with the flexibility to pursue select global opportunities supported by strong institutional backing and deep sector expertise.

Associates will have the chance to work on a lean and highly experienced investment team, offering meaningful responsibility, close interaction with senior decision makers, and exposure across the full investment lifecycle.

The Role

Associates will play a central role in the origination, evaluation, and execution of core infrastructure investments, while also supporting portfolio oversight alongside a dedicated asset management function.

Key Responsibilities include:

  • Supporting the origination and execution of brownfield and greenfield infrastructure transactions across Europe and selected global markets
  • Building and maintaining detailed financial models for core infrastructure assets, including project finance-style structures and long-term contracted revenue frameworks
  • Analysing construction, operational, and capital structure risk with a focus on downside protection and stable yield
  • Managing discrete diligence workstreams and engaging directly with advisors, lenders, management teams, and consortium partners
  • Preparing investment committee materials and participating in internal investment discussions
  • Supporting portfolio monitoring, refinancing processes, and strategic initiatives alongside the asset management team
  • Contributing to the evaluation of complex businesses and platform opportunities within core transport, social infrastructure, and utilities

Candidate Profile

The successful candidate will be a high-performing junior investor or adviser with a clear interest in long-term infrastructure ownership and a trajectory toward senior investing roles.

We are seeking individuals with:

  • Approximately 2-4 years of experience within infrastructure investment banking or project financing
  • Strong financial modelling skills and comfort working with project finance or long-duration contracted cash flow assets
  • Exposure to complex transactions requiring commercial judgment and stakeholder coordination
  • A genuine interest in core infrastructure investing, including greenfield development and public-private partnership structures
  • Intellectual curiosity, strong numerical capability, and the ability to operate effectively within a small, high-performance team
  • A personable, collaborative approach and willingness to take ownership in a demanding but supportive environment
  • European skills may be beneficial given the platform’s continental investment focus, but are not essential.

Please Note: Due to the high volume and calibre of interest across Madison Hunt’s infrastructure mandates, we are only able to respond to candidates who closely meet the above criteria.
