About Better Society Capital (BSC):
Better Society Capital (BSC) is the UK's leading social impact-led investor. Our mission is to grow the amount of money invested in tackling social issues and inequalities in the UK; we do this by investing ourselves and enabling others to invest for impact too.
Since 2012, we have helped grow the UK's social impact investment market thirteen-fold, to more than £11 billion, proving that impact investing can scale when social outcomes and investment opportunity are genuinely aligned. We have committed more than £1 billion of our own capital to social impact investments and today hold a live portfolio of over 100 across the UK, primarily made into funds spanning early-stage and mature positions, all working towards lasting impact for the people and communities they serve.
We're now delivering our 2026–2030 strategy: mobilising £20–30 billion in capital to positively impact 15–20 million lives across the UK over the next decade. We're focusing our expertise and capital on four challenge areas: housing, economic opportunity, climate and energy, and health. These have been chosen because each combines urgent social need, proven investment models and a clear role for BSC to play.
This is BSC's next chapter. Building on everything we've proven since 2012, we're scaling with greater ambition and sharper focus, and looking for people who want to help shape how we get there.
The Opportunity:
We're recruiting an Investment Manager to identify, assess and manage social impact investments that change lives, working with investors, social enterprises and government to grow the UK's social impact investment market.
You'll help find and shape the investments that deliver on BSC's 2026–2030 strategy: identifying social issues and market gaps and building the partnerships, structures and solutions needed to mobilise capital at scale. As a systems change agent, you'll contribute to strategic projects that shape how BSC and the wider market tackle these challenges, moving towards leading strands of this work as your experience grows.
Managing a portfolio of social impact investments well is just as central to our mission. You'll build trusted, long-term relationships with fund managers, managing performance against expectations across financial, social impact and systems change goals.
Investment Associate and Manager Development Programme
We invest in our people as seriously as we invest our portfolio. You’ll accelerate your growth through hands-on experience across multiple asset classes, tailored training programmes and collaboration with sector-leading specialists as well as gaining direct exposure to our Investment Committee and senior leadership.
