The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience and broad exposure across natural capital assets, including forestry, agriculture, carbon, and related infrastructure.

The intern will work closely with both the Investments and Asset Management teams, supporting origination and pipeline management, live transactions, portfolio analysis, and operational performance monitoring across natural capital assets in the Asia region. This opportunity is ideal for a final-year student or recent graduate with a strong interest in natural capital and impact investments.
