Vice President Sustainability

Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. London, United Kingdom

Our Company

Oaktree is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments, with $202 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2024. The firm emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented, and risk-controlled approach to investments in credit, real estate, and equity. The firm has over 1200 employees and offices in 23 cities worldwide.

Our investment philosophy consists of six enduring tenets: risk control, consistency, market inefficiency, specialization, de-emphasis of macro-forecasting and disavowal of market timing. These tenets are central to our opportunistic and value-oriented approach.

Our mission is to deliver superior investment results with risk under control and to conduct business with the highest integrity. Sustainability considerations are an important component of achieving this mission. Sustainability factors can directly and materially impact investment outcomes, and a concerted and consistent focus on sustainability throughout the investment lifecycle helps us avoid undue risk and better identify valuable opportunities.

We are committed to cultivating an environment that is collaborative, curious, inclusive and honors diversity of thought.
