Venture and Growth – Associate
About Galvanize Climate Solutions
Galvanize is a global asset manager investing at the intersection of energy innovation, resilience, and intelligence. The firm deploys capital across seed, venture, growth, public equities, credit, and real estate, combining investment expertise with deep in-house capabilities in technology, policy, and markets. Galvanize is structured to rapidly identify and execute on investment opportunities created by the energy transition, across all sectors of the economy.
Role
The Investment Associate will be a core member of Galvanize’s Venture and Growth team. This role sits at the center of our effort to build scaled, category-defining companies that power the next era of energy and climate. Associates are active participants in theme development, investment execution, and portfolio value creation. The role offers exposure to the full investment lifecycle: from identifying structural shifts across electrification, intelligence, and industrial systems, to underwriting companies positioned to lead those shifts, to supporting management teams as they scale. Our Venture and Growth strategy provides capital to commercially validated businesses with strong leadership, differentiated technology, and clear pathways to profitability. We focus on companies ready to move from product-market fit to scaled deployment in the real economy.
Key investment themes include:
• Electrification and the scaling of intelligence
• Data, digitization, and controls for the new economy
• Firm and flexible power generation
• Industrial efficiency and automation
• Sustainable inputs, resources, and supply chains
• System resilience
We are long-term partners to our portfolio companies, working alongside founders and executives to accelerate commercialization, navigate policy and market complexity, and build durable category leadership. This role is well-suited for an intellectually curious, execution-oriented investor who wants meaningful responsibility, close collaboration with senior partners, and exposure to building a differentiated climate-focused investment platform from the inside.
Essential job responsibilities
Responsibilities of the Associate will revolve around three primary types of work:
• New and Follow-On Investments– The Galvanize Investment Associate will play a central role in sourcing, evaluating, and executing new and follow-on investments across the portfolio. This includes proactive thematic research, market mapping, relationship development with founders and ecosystem partners, market analysis, financial modeling, and preparation of investment committee materials.
• Portfolio Management– The Galvanize Investment Associate will support portfolio company reporting, performance tracking, and valuation analysis. The Associate will also work with portfolio companies on select strategic and operational initiatives.
• Fund Administration– The Galvanize Investment Associate will assist with fund reporting, valuation support, data collection, and external events such as annual investor meetings.
Attributes and Strengths:
• Have a Bachelor’s degree
• At least two years of hands-on experience in investing, management consulting, or working at an investment bank.
• Belief that diversity, equity, and inclusion drive improved decision-making and share our commitment to fostering an inclusive culture. We value team members who actively contribute to a culture of respect and belonging, and who are committed to ethical leadership.
• Prioritize operating ethically and professionally. Be able to demonstrate a strong sense of integrity and consistently exercise good judgement.
• A self-starter with a track record of going above and beyond what is asked.
• An ability to build and maintain good relationships with colleagues, partners, and entrepreneurs.
• Authorization to work in the US without employer sponsorship.
Compensation and Benefits
• Estimated base salary, depending on experience: $125,000 - $150,000 per annum
• Role is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus
• Generous benefits package, including employer-paid health coverage options
• 401(k) plan with employer match
• 25 days of PTO which is inclusive of vacation, personal time and sick leave
• Monthly wellness benefit that covers a broad range of activities
• Annual stipend for employer-sponsored professional development opportunities
