Impact Associate, Global Portfolio

The Impact team is a strategic function within GP’s Capital and Impact Team (CIT) charged with the research, analysis, and partner engagement work that enables GP to develop, execute, and continuously strengthen its impact-first strategy. The Impact Associate will play a critical role in delivering on this mandate within the Global Portfolio of GP’s affiliated funds, which currently comprises investments in 25+ social enterprise partners in 12+ countries across sub-Saharan Africa, with potential future expansion into Asia.

The Impact Associate will primarily work remotely, with periodic opportunities to engage in-person with colleagues and partners, and will report to the Director of Impact based in Bogotá. The Impact Associate will work closely with both the CIT and the Social Investment Team (SIT), which leads business development, loan origination, credit analysis, and capital recovery for GP-affiliated debt funds, including with team members located in the US. The position thus requires the ability to work independently and proactively communicate and collaborate with distributed colleagues and partners.

Tasks and responsibilities:

Executing GP-affiliated funds’ impact-first partner screening and analysis to inform investment decision-making in the Global Portfolio:

• Underwriting potential investment opportunities for impact by collecting data, understanding each social enterprise’s business model, and conducting analysis to evaluate alignment with GP’s impact-first investment criteria
• Authoring and presenting Investment Briefs to inform investment decision-making, summarizing the impact case for investment, key impact risks, and supporting data and analysis
• Participating actively in Impact team discussions of Investment Briefs across regions
• Proactively communicating with Portfolio Directors and Director of Impact to together identify and prioritize the necessary impact-related next steps of pipeline work.
