Investment Intern

Help put a price on nature. Spend three months at the heart of a new asset class, working on the models and investor conversations that decide how capital flows into landscape restoration.

As our Investment Intern, you’ll help turn environmental ambition into investable reality, building the financial models, gathering the market insight, and supporting the investor relationships that move money into landscape-scale restoration. You’ll be part of the Oxygen Capital team as well as working directly with the people running our estates, translating what happens on the ground into something a pension fund, family office or institutional investor can commit to with confidence.

This is a role where you will shape real decisions from the start. Your models will inform how we invest a portfolio worth hundreds of millions, and your research will shape which markets we move into next.

About You

Environment

• A love for the natural world and rural environment, and a commitment to its ecological restoration.
• Genuinely curious about how finance can scale environmental restoration, and excited by the idea that the two belong together.
• Fascinated by the emerging nature-based markets (carbon, biodiversity, nutrient, water).

Impact

• Comfortable with numbers, models and spreadsheets, and always looking to improve your technical skills.
• Rigorous with detail, because accurate models give our team and our investors the confidence to back nature at scale.
• Excellent communication skills. You are able to transform a complex model into a clear story that helps investors, colleagues and partners make confident decisions.

Adventure

• Excited by ambiguity. Much of what we’re valuing has never been valued before, and there is no rulebook.
• Happy to get out of the spreadsheet and onto the land to understand what the numbers actually represent.
• Enthusiastic to experiment with AI to come up with innovative solutions to complex modelling and valuation problems.

Together

• Confident working alongside investors and estate teams alike, and at ease in both rooms.
• Collaborative and generous with ideas. You make the people around you sharper.
• And let’s be honest, you have to be really kind too. Sharing snacks on long journeys or a packed lunch in the driving rain is mandatory!

We believe in recruiting exceptional people and creating opportunities that allow you to do incredible things. You don’t need to tick every box above, and you don’t need to look or sound a certain way to belong here. We are committed to building a genuinely diverse team drawn from across the country, with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. It doesn’t matter what point in your career you are at, what school you went to, or whether you have a degree or not. We want amazing people with a desire to make a difference.

What We’d Love You To Do

Financial Modelling

Build and refine models for Natural Capital projects, bringing together ecological data, crediting methodologies and commercial assumptions to inform investment decisions.

Portfolio Tracking

Compare what our estates actually deliver against what we forecast, from tree survival and credit issuance to prices achieved, feeding these learnings back into the models.

Market and Policy Research

Track pricing, policy and demand signals across nature-based markets to identify risk and new revenue opportunities.

Due Diligence Readiness

Help keep our portfolio investor-ready, maintaining the data, evidence and analysis behind every estate so we can answer investor and partner questions quickly and with confidence.

Investor Engagement

Help prepare investor reports, pitch materials and responses to investor queries, working with the Oxygen Capital team and our external partners.

Fundraising Support

Contribute to the materials and analysis behind live fundraising processes.

Application Process

1. Apply This is the first step to becoming part of the team. Simply click the ‘Apply Now’ button to complete our application form, and show us how awesome you are!

After which, if successful, we will set an exciting role specific challenge for you to complete in advance of your interview. An opportunity for us to see you shine.
