The Opportunity

Future focused and always one step ahead!

The Senior Investment Manager, on the one side, is tasked with strategically identifying debt investments in infrastructure assets that comply with Munich Re’s investment guidelines. This involves sourcing investments through excellent business contacts with leading arrangers, sponsors and other market participants and requires very good market know how. The Senior Investment Manager must be able to carefully select debt assets with the best risk/return profile that align with Munich Re’s criteria and lead and manage a due diligence and closing process. This requires strong and very regular interaction with external advisors and internal workstreams across various domains such as tax, accounting, legal, technical, and insurance.

Furthermore, the Senior Investment Manager must also be able to work on equity investments in infrastructure assets that comply with Munich Re’s investment guidelines. Further to the above requirements for the interaction with external advisors and internal workstreams across various domains, this also requires very solid financial modelling skills. Active asset management (incl. asset board exposure) is part of the role on the equity side as well.

Responsibilities:

In this position you will:

• Source Direct Infrastructure Debt Investments: Source direct infrastructure debt investment opportunities, conducting screening, analysis, and project selection to align with Munich Re's objectives.
• Due Diligence: On the debt side, lead a due diligence process and manage all interphases with all involved workstreams, including legal, accounting, tax, insurance, technical, and risk. On the equity side, at least lead select workstreams.
• Ensure Compliance Across Borders: Oversee compliance with financial, legal, and regulatory requirements in both US and Germany for debt and equity investment projects.
• Negotiate Agreements: Lead negotiations for the debt financing, at least co-lead on the equity side.
• Prepare and Present IC Materials: Develop and present investment committee materials to guide decision-making at MEAG and Munich Re for both debt and equity.
• Facilitate Signing and Closing: Arrange, manage and oversee the signing and closing processes for debt and equity investment transactions.
• Active Asset Management: Manage select direct infrastructure equity investments in order to implement asset management strategies, potentially sitting on the board of directors for select infrastructure assets, to align with investment goals.
• Develop Investment Strategies: Together with the Head of AA MEAG NY, create strategies for investment to drive growth and success.
• Build and Maintain Relationships: Establish and nurture relationships with investors, investment banks, developers, and sponsors to ensure a steady pipeline of investment opportunities meeting Munich Re's guidelines, especially on the debt side.
• Cross selling: Have an open mind to lever the expertise of Munich Re to identify and realize infrastructure investments where an investment can be complemented by insurance solutions.

Qualifications:

• Relevant work experience of at least 4-6yrs.
• Skills required as a Senior Investment Manager Infrastructure include: financial analysis and modelling, deal structuring, strategic thinking, due diligence, risk management, industry and market knowledge, effective communication, leadership, entrepreneurial mindset, and – especially on the debt side – excellent market contacts. These skills enable investors to assess potential investments accurately, negotiate favorable terms, identify market trends, mitigate risks, understand industry dynamics, communicate investment strategies effectively, lead deal teams, build relationships with stakeholders, and capitalize on opportunities for value creation in dynamic market environments.
• Multilingual proficiency in German or Spanish is a plus.
