Impact Investment Manager

DOEN Participaties B.V. is the investment arm of Stichting DOEN, the fund of the Postcode Lottery and VriendenLoterij, and has been investing for nearly 30 years in innovative startups that are making an impact in the fields of the regenerative economy—both domestically and internationally (including circular business models, landscape restoration, and renewable energy)—as well as in the field of social entrepreneurship. The DOEN Participaties team currently consists of three Investment Principals, two Investment Managers, one Investment Associate, one Investment Analyst, and one Investment Officer.

The Impact Investment Manager we are looking for will be responsible for financing (convertible loans, direct investments, and fund investments) and managing a portion of the portfolio. The focus is on financing pioneers making an impact in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Scandinavia. Part of the pipeline comes from the DOEN Foundation. You will therefore work closely with Program Managers at the DOEN Foundation. In addition, we expect the Impact Investment Manager to actively scout and select pioneers.

What exactly are you going to do? 

We are looking for an experienced Impact Investment Manager who:

• finds promising impact investments;
• is accustomed to working with passionate entrepreneurs with groundbreaking ideas; 
• is able to evaluate potential investments and draft investment proposals; 
• builds and manages a portfolio of sustainable and social investments in the areas covered by DOEN; 
• is willing and enjoys traveling regularly to our portfolio companies in Europe.

We want you for this position because:

• You have a university-level education and way of thinking;
• You have more than 5 years of relevant work experience in venture capital, private equity, corporate finance, consulting, or related fields.
• Experience working with startup or early-stage entrepreneurs is a plus;
• you have relevant knowledge and experience in the field of sustainability and innovation;
• Experience in (bio)technology is a plus;
• you are curious and a good networker and connector;
• You are fluent in both spoken and written Dutch and English.

What do we offer?

• The opportunity to make a difference and contribute tangibly to the transition toward a sustainable, inclusive, and creative society, where there is room for diverse perspectives;
• an interesting and varied job in a casual organization with a professional culture, motivated colleagues, and a broad scope of work: from community initiatives and arts and culture to the circular economy;
• the opportunity to continue your professional development;
• plenty of room for initiative;
• a 36- or 40-hour workweek and a one-year contract with the intention of extending it to a permanent position;
• a good salary, a stable pension plan, and attractive employment benefits;
• Finally, we’ll provide you with an NS Business card, and you can participate in weekly boot camp, Pilates, or yoga classes. We also have lunch together in the company cafeteria. 

Where will you be working?

You will be working in our sustainable office building, located within walking distance of Amsterdam Zuid station. At Stichting DOEN and its investment company DOEN Participaties, approximately 40 passionate, entrepreneurial, and dedicated colleagues from diverse backgrounds work together. Diversity is the ideal breeding ground for creativity, innovation, and collaboration. We want to invite anyone who can make a valuable contribution to our organization to apply—especially if you sometimes feel less welcome in the job market because of your gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, background, or ability to work.
