    Director of Investments

    Job description

    The Director of Investments is a newly created role, established to fulfill the organisation’s growth targets in Kenya. You will be responsible carrying deals from concept to conclusion.

    The Director of Investments is instrumental in evaluating, structuring, negotiating and concluding high volume of deals.

    If you consider yourself creative, entrepreneurial, deal-focused and you have a solid track record in making investment decisions in the SMME / consumer lending environment this could be an ideal next challenge for you.

    Key focus areas:

    • Deal-sourcing with the emphasis on drawing on your existing network to find new opportunities to invest in
    • Deal evaluation, structuring, negotiation and conclusion.
    • Client facing deal management
    • Strategic leadership of an existing team and expanding the team by taking charge of hiring, training and mentoring the team.
    • Quantitative decisioning, seeing ‘through the data’ to identify incorrect assumptions and / or red flags in prospective investee companies

    Ideal candidate profile:

    • Based in Nairobi, Kenya or willing to relocate to Nairobi with a family, or be away from home for extensive periods of time
    • Experience with full life-cycle of deal making is highly preferable: originate, negotiate and bring the transaction to a close i.e. handing the process of managing the deal, negotiating the terms and finding the structure (from a PE or M&A advisory perspective)
    • Strong client relationships; developed by managing large complex deals – simply put: someone who keeps asking: ‘how do I get this deal over the line’
    • At least 7 years’ experience, of which at least 1 at Principal /portfolio manager/ or key decision-maker level.
    • You will have either made the final decision to invest, or brought the deals to the investment committee with a recommendation or consulted at C-Suite level to clients regarding investment decisions
    • Prior experience working with a multi-national and / or global management consulting firm will be a distinct advantage
