  6. A team-player, with maturity, integrity and the ability to engage with senior counterparties.
  7. Strong written and oral communication skills.
  8. Well-organised, hard-working, self-starter, with an ability to work independently.

What impact can you make in this role?
You will be part of a team that is one of the largest and most established private capital investors in the world today.

Work at the Point of Impact
