SWEN CP- Investment Director (F/M)

    Description

    Company presentation:  

    For over 12 years, SWEN Capital Partners has been a leading player in unlisted Responsible Investment, with more than 9 billion euros of assets under management mainly in Europe.

    The management company is owned by the OFI Invest Group and Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, along with its team.

    Since our creation, ESG has always been at the heart of our business model, and in 2023 we strengthened our historic vocation as a responsible investor by clearly affirming our ambition: to contribute to the emergence of truly sustainable finance, through sincere commitments, concrete actions and the mobilization of our teams and our ecosystem.

    Thus, at the end of 2023, we made a strong choice that guides our decisions and actions: to become a "mission-driven company" by putting ourselves "at Nature's service".

    SWEN Capital Partners relies on a team of over 120 people based in Paris, 48% of whom are women, with an average age of 34. More than 15 nationalities are represented, and 29% of employees started out as interns with the company, demonstrating the company's ability to trust young profiles, train them and give them responsibility. Together, we form a dynamic, committed team that meets challenges with passion and determination!

     SWEN Capital Partners is seeking to reinforce its SWEN Blue Ocean team by hiring an Investment Director (F/M) in its Paris office.  

    SWEN Blue Ocean invests in innovations that help regenerate ocean biodiversity and achieve SDG14, with the aim to deliver both systemic impact and competitive market returns. The team launched the Blue Ocean fund in September 2021 at the IUCN's World Conservation Congress, in scientific partnership with Ifremer, France's leading ocean science institute. The fund invests in solutions to overfishing, solutions to ocean pollution and marine-based solutions to climate change. Blue Ocean closed at EUR 170 million and its investment strategy focuses on Series A investments, mainly in Europe. It was recognized as a Top Innovative Fund for our Future by UpLink / World Economic Forum, and by Harvard who wrote and teaches a case study about the fund. SWEN Capital Partners is now raising SWEN Blue Ocean 2 with a target size of EUR 300 million.

    The Investment Director will report to Christian Lim and Olivier Raybaud, Managing Directors of the SWEN Blue Ocean team. She / he will work with a team of nine investment professionals with international experience, highly committed and collaborative. A combination of work from home and in the office is possible.
