Portfolio Manager

Overview

Location: Paris, France, with flexibility for hybrid arrangements. Business conducted in English.

Our client is a leading European private equity firm dedicated to the energy transition, with a strong track record spanning more than 20 years. The firm invests across European markets and beyond in a wide range of renewable energy technologies, supporting platforms that drive the next chapter of the energy transition.

As the firm prepares for the next chapter of fundraising and portfolio growth, the Renewable Energy team is strengthening its Portfolio Management function. You will join a small, senior team that operates as the analytical backbone between deal teams, the Investment Committee and Limited Partners.

This is a hybrid role, neither a pure middle office function nor an investment seat. The position is open to either Associate or Principal level, with the final calibration based on calibre and fit.

Your Mission

You will help raise the bar on portfolio oversight at our client.

You will go beyond reporting. You will anticipate issues and opportunities at fund and portfolio level, surface trade-offs before they reach the Investment Committee, and sharpen how senior leadership approaches portfolio decisions.

It is a role for someone who combines fund level perspective with intellectual initiative, and who is comfortable operating alongside senior investors and Managing Partners as a trusted analytical partner.

What You\'ll Do

Anticipate issues and opportunities at fund and portfolio level

• Proactively monitor fund performance and KPIs to anticipate potential issues and opportunities before they reach the Investment Committee.
• Question exit assumptions, guide origination considerations, and propose structuring or timing alternatives that strengthen fund outcomes.
• Identify risks and value creation opportunities across the portfolio, with disciplined challenge of underwriting and exit cases.

Act as a trusted partner to deal teams and senior leadership

• Operate as an analytical thought partner to the Head of Portfolio Management on capital allocation, exits and portfolio strategy.
• Build credibility with deal teams and Managing Partners through clear, decision relevant insights.
• Advocate structured portfolio governance, ensuring disciplined interactions and high analytical standards across IC processes and portfolio reviews.

Support fundraising and investor engagement

• Contribute to, and over time lead, key workstreams during fundraising preparation, including DDQs, pitchbooks, portfolio track record analyses and bespoke LP requests.
• Provide timely, decision grade analytical support to investors running due diligence.

Strengthen portfolio information and governance

• Improve the quality, consistency and usability of portfolio data across funds.
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in portfolio monitoring tools and reporting infrastructure, working alongside the team\'s operational lead.

What You Bring

• Strong understanding of private equity fund structures and portfolio dynamics, with 5 to 10 years of relevant experience including portfolio monitoring, valuations, capital deployment and exit considerations. Experience in infrastructure or power sector investing is an advantage but not a prerequisite.
• Excellent analytical and structuring capabilities, with the ability to synthesise complex portfolio data into clear, decision relevant insights for senior stakeholders and investors.
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with the credibility to build trusted working relationships with deal teams, Managing Partners and other senior leaders.
• High level of ownership, rigour and judgement, comfortable operating across multiple workstreams in a fast paced, collaborative and intellectually demanding environment.
• Business or finance degree required. Asset or fund management background is a plus.
• Fluency in English required. Additional European languages are a plus.

What\'s In It For You

• Direct partnership with the Head of Portfolio Management on the most senior fund level questions facing the platform.
• Influence at Investment Committee level, shaping how the firm approaches portfolio decisions.
• Active contribution to the next fundraising cycle, including investor engagement and institutional positioning.
• Competitive compensation package including base, discretionary bonus and profit share, with equity participation available depending on seniority.
• Paris based, with flexibility for hybrid arrangements. Business conducted in English.
