Financial Services

Funding the transition has never been more critical, more strategic, or more far-reaching.

Decarbonisation is shifting global capital toward venture, private equity, and climate funds. As regulations tighten and net-zero commitments grow, investors must balance financial returns with measurable climate outcomes. Brightsmith delivers clean investment recruitment and climate finance executive search, connecting funds and platforms with leaders who deliver both growth and impact.

We help funds, platforms, and portfolio companies hire talent bridging finance and climate technology. Candidates combine analytical skills, sector expertise, and execution.

With a strong network in cleantech recruitment and rigorous evaluation, we identify professionals who match technical needs, culture, and strategy. Brightsmith drives low carbon investment hiring that accelerates growth across climate tech and clean infrastructure.

Venture Capital

Record levels of early-stage capital are driving breakthroughs in decarbonisation, circular economy, and carbon removal, but funding alone is not enough. Brightsmith delivers clean investment recruitment and climate finance executive search for venture capital firms, placing platform leaders, technical-diligence experts, and board advisors. These professionals bring engineering and product insight that empowers founders to manage risk and scale high-impact climate innovations.

Private Equity

Scaling proven clean technologies, asset platforms, and low-carbon infrastructure demands operational excellence. Brightsmith supports private equity clean investment recruitment, connecting firms and portfolio companies with executives skilled in value creation, ESG integration, and digital expansion. Our clean technology executive search ensures leaders combine financial discipline with sector expertise to navigate transition risk, stakeholder pressure, and long-term growth in climate-focused portfolios.

Climate & Impact Funds

Climate and impact funds are expanding across asset classes and geographies, where proving outcomes and maintaining integrity are critical. Brightsmith provides cleantech recruitment and low carbon investment hiring, building diverse teams in portfolio management, impact measurement, policy strategy, and natural-capital investing. Our climate finance executive search connects funds with leaders who maximise financial returns while embedding DE&I and mission alignment.
