Support investments in global farmland and accelerate the transition to regenerative farming. Join a hands-on investment team where you'll combine financial analysis with real-world impact.

- Work daily with local experts and operators to validate assumptions on yields, costs, and timelines;
- Help grow the strategy commercially: support investor materials and new partnerships;
- Visit farms globally and meet operators, agronomists, and local advisers.
RequirementsAnalytical, entrepreneurial, and curious. You thrive on making a positive impact and enjoy combining financial rigor with sustainability goals. You think ahead, ask questions, and take responsibility for closing the best investments for our clients.
