Jobs & Internships
New opportunity: Principal, Trade Finance
To date, our focus has been on private equity, but we are now developing our trade finance activities through a new fund – the Africa Sustainable Trade Finance Fund - to be established with USD 50m of seed capital. The Fund will leverage Mbuyu Capital’s experience in working capital finance, especially in the agriculture sector in Africa, as well as our private equity company networks across the Continent.
The Fund will invest primarily through co-lending and risk participations with existing trade finance and supply chain lending partners, either fund managers or principal capital providers. The Fund will have a strong focus on sustainability and impact, through negative screening – avoiding commodities such as tobacco and fossil fuels – and seeking beneficial outcomes through creating jobs, enhancing incomes and improving access to food and promoting sustainable, local food production.
We are now looking for a trade finance professional to join us, with experience of structuring, monitoring and documenting trade finance transactions, particularly with exposure to Africa or other emerging markets. Located in the UK, Netherlands or Kenya. Competitive remuneration, including profit participation.
Please see the full job description attached. Please address questions and applications to Georgina Miller, COO at gmiller@mbuyucapital.com.
