Within the Investment Department, we run a number of investment funds across equity and debt. We are looking to add an Investment Manager to the team, to operate at the heart of our investment activities, providing vital scale-up finance to the UK’s most promising creative businesses.

We are looking for someone curious, determined, willing to listen and learn, and not be afraid to take the lead on work and processes. You will conduct a great deal of the work autonomously but will benefit from the support and guidance of an experienced and hard-supportive team who will help you become a value-added member of the team.

Within the Investment Department, we run a number of investment funds across equity and debt. We are looking to add an Investment Analyst to the team, to operate and support at the heart of our investment activities, providing vital scale-up finance to the UK’s most promising creative businesses.
This is a unique opportunity to join a small fast paced Investment team. We are looking for analytical, data driven individuals, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage and prioritise workload. This role will be pivotal to supporting the investment management process across industry research, qualification of leads, due diligence, and fund operations.
Our investment team is client facing. This role will provide opportunities to liaise externally with creative sector companies that would be leads or applicants for our investment funds. You will also have the opportunity to engage with industry partners and investors. Equally, you will build relationships internally within and beyond the Creative UK Investment team, and with our independent Investment Committee. Your goal will be to support an efficient and accurate investment management process. Your added value will enable the growth of our internal processes and procedures, and gaining a strong understanding of our fund mandate, to shape your own journey within the team, likely towards building a skillset to matriculate to Investment Manager.
The ideal candidate will have some previous relevant experience working with and analysing financial information. We are looking for appetite, self-confidence and potential rather than years served. Although you must be determined, numerically literate and have the ability to build relationships. You should hold a strong work ethic and not shy away from rolling your sleeves up to do the work necessary in building a truly unique and successful investment programme.
