Danesmead Advisory Limited- Junior Analyst

About the Company: Danesmead Advisory is a specialist sustainability consultancy focused on alternative investment managers, including hedge funds, private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real assets. We provide both advisory and outsourced sustainability support, helping clients navigate regulation, strengthen investment processes, and deliver credible sustainability outcomes. Founded in 2020, Danesmead is a female-led, independent firm working with ~100 global investment managers representing over $1.2tn in AUM.

This is an entry-level role suited to a recent graduate or candidate with up to one year of relevant experience.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll contribute to both client delivery and the day-to-day running of a fast-growing consultancy.
