Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a bold and visionary Head of Investment to join our team. Someone who can blend financial expertise with environmental passion to position Oxygen Conservation at the forefront of the natural capital market. We are building the markets, not just the models, reshaping how we value land, nature, and climate impact. You’ll lead investor engagement, financial structuring, and business modelling, while helping define the frameworks that underpin one of the most exciting and vital new markets of our time. If you’re driven by purpose, hungry for challenge, and ready to inspire others with a new vision of conservation finance, this is your opportunity.

About you

We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of finance, strategy, and impact. You’ll have the technical expertise to build scalable investment structures, the credibility to engage with institutional investors and professional advisors, and the passion to help us redefine the role of capital in restoring the natural world.

Environment

  • Passionate about using finance to drive environmental and social change.
  • Belief in natural capital as a credible, investable, and scalable solution to the climate and biodiversity crises.

Impact

  • Expertise in corporate finance, investment management or private equity, ideally with exposure to natural capital, infrastructure, or real assets.
  • Proven track record in financial structuring, capital raising, and delivering strong investor relations.
  • Strong analytical and modelling skills with experience in valuations, sensitivity analysis, and due diligence.
  • Exceptional communicator with the ability to translate complex investment structures into clear, compelling narratives.

    • Adventure

  • Excited to help pioneer an emerging asset class, shaping governance and frameworks from the ground up.
  • Energised by working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven environment.

    • Together

  • Skilled relationship-builder who thrives on collaboration with colleagues, investors, advisors, and policymakers.
  • We value kindness and teamwork as essential parts of the role.

    • We believe in recruiting exceptional people and shaping roles that allow them to achieve extraordinary things. We are committed to building a genuinely diverse team drawn from across the country, with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. You may bring lots of strengths in some areas and less in others, and that is absolutely fine. What matters most is knowledge of the wider investment sector, together with the ability to build positive, collaborative relationships. If you can bring those qualities and a passion for making a difference, we would love to hear from you.

    About the role

    As Head of Investment , you’ll lead the development and delivery of Oxygen Conservation’s investment strategy. From engaging family offices and institutional investors to designing scalable financial structures, you’ll ensure our capital raising delivers both strong financial returns and transformational conservation outcomes. You’ll be the bridge between finance and mission, working with advisors and market stakeholders to help define the future of natural capital. You’ll also collaborate closely with our environment, estates, and finance teams to build robust models, evaluate acquisitions, and deliver long-term value creation strategies. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with our General Counsel and other senior team members as we move into our next exciting phase of Scaling Conservation.

    • Forge relationships with institutional investors and family offices, positioning Oxygen Conservation as a leading natural capital opportunity.

  • Manage the preparation of quarterly investor reports, board updates, and governance materials.
  • Act as a spokesperson for investment opportunities, showcasing our mission-driven approach.
  • Defining a New Asset Class

    • Play a central role in shaping the natural capital asset class, engaging with policymakers, industry bodies, and market stakeholders.

  • Contribute to high-integrity standards, frameworks, and governance that underpin credible markets.
  • Lead financial modelling at estate and portfolio level, including valuations and sensitivity analysis.
  • Develop and implement value creation strategies, business plans, and exit approaches.
  • Lead scalable capital-raising efforts that maximise both investor returns and conservation impact.
  • Prepare and tailor pitch materials, investment memoranda, and diligence materials.
  • Manage advisor relationships for transactions, including RFPs, appointments, and budget oversight.
