AVAILABLE POSITIONS
Graduate Responsible Investment Analyst
We are excited to offer a Graduate Responsible Investment Analyst position commencing February 2027, to join our ESG Team in Sydney. This is a specialist role with its own career path, separate from our Graduate Investment Analyst program. It is designed for high-performing individuals who want to build expertise in responsible investment and ESG alongside strong commercial and analytical skills.
You’ll see responsible investment and ESG applied across the full private equity lifecycle: assessing new investments, working with portfolio companies during ownership, and preparing businesses for sale. As the Responsible Investment Analyst in our small specialist team, you’ll have genuine responsibility from day one and see the impact of your work.
What You’ll Do:
- Assess new investments: research target companies, identify material ESG risks and opportunities, and prepare analysis for Investment Committee materials.
- Work with portfolio companies: support management teams on practical projects across topics such as climate, cyber, risk, workforce and supply chain.
- Run portfolio-wide programs: help deliver our annual ESG data collection and analysis, and other recurring programs across the portfolio.
- Stay ahead of change: track regulation and market developments, and help to translate them into practical guidance, strategies and real world projects.
- Build how we work: work with specialist advisers, to design the tools, templates and processes Crescent use to provide direct support.
- Build a knowledge base: Contribute to Crescent’s responsible investment monitoring, reporting and engagement including through investor support and industry collaboration.
What We Look For
- A track record of achievement: academic, professional or personal achievements that show drive, resilience, and follow-through.
- Commitment to responsible investment as a career: a genuine interest in ESG and sustainability, from policy and regulation through to practical implementation, and curiosity about how these issues affect business performance, risk and value.
- Analytical and strategic: the ability to work through information and data, spot trends, identify what matters, provide clear, practical judgements. Effective when using AI tools but not reliant on them to produce high quality work.
- Clear communication: strong writing, structured thinking, the ability to explain complex topics simply, and confidence engaging with a range of stakeholders. Can produce polished, accurate work in Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
- Collaboration and adaptability: enjoys working in a small team to solve a wide variety of problems, and can respond to shifting priorities positively and pragmatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this role a pathway into the Graduate Investment Analyst program?
No. The role has its own career path within the ESG Team. You’ll work alongside our investment team every day, including on active deals, but the role is a specialist one in ESG and responsible investment.
Will I be part of a graduate cohort?
Yes, though this is not a rotation program and you’ll be part of the ESG Team from day one. You will start alongside our Graduate Investment Analysts for 2027, and share select activities and training with them.
Do I need an ESG or sustainability degree?
No. We care more about your interests and how you think than what you studied.
I’ve already graduated and started working. Can I apply?
Yes. We welcome applicants who graduated in the past two years, including those with up to two years’ professional experience.
Can international students apply?
Yes, if you have the right to work full-time in Australia without employer sponsorship. Applicants must have Australian citizenship, permanent residency or working rights.
