Position Overview

Drive LANCRY’s quantitative analytics agenda and support the continued build-out of the firm’s investment risk capability, with increasing responsibility over time. The role combines due diligence, transaction underwriting analytics, portfolio construction, and risk governance for private capital investments in natural capital. You will develop and set standards for scalable models and decision infrastructure that strengthen capital allocation, deal structuring, and risk oversight, ensuring decisions are robust, repeatable, and aligned with institutional governance standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Portfolio & transaction modeling: Design portfolio construction and transaction underwriting models for the firm’s natural capital investment strategies, including scenario analysis, stress testing, and downside resilience.
• Investment risk framework: Develop the firm’s investment risk framework and risk-reporting methodology, including market, liquidity, FX and climate/nature risks, in preparation for consistent oversight across the firm’s future portfolios and transactions.
• Decision support for strategy development: Lead the quantitative workstream with the executive team to evaluate opportunities, inform structuring decisions, and deliver decision-ready analytics on risk/return, sensitivities, and capital allocation considerations.
• Stakeholder engagement: Contribute to discussions with prospective investors and partners by presenting the firm’s analytical approach, risk methodology, and quantitative thinking in a clear, institutional-quality manner.
• Research & innovation: Lead cross-asset and climate/nature-related research and translate insights into investable frameworks, product structuring, and scalable analytics.

Profile & Qualifications
