Independent Investment Committee Member (DRE)

Department: Investment

Employment Type: Fixed Term Contract

Location: Africa

Reporting To: Fund Manager / Board of Directors


Description Allied Talent Partners (ATP), a Three Cairns Group initiative, is a mission-driven, not-for-profit talent marketplace focused on solving the human capital bottlenecks slowing down sustainable development efforts in emerging economies, with an initial focus on Africa.  ATP connects vetted, experienced, context-relevant professionals to high-impact opportunities in energy access and sustainable development – strengthening local capacity and fuelling economic vitality. We specialize in fixed-term, deliverable-driven engagements – from interim leadership and generalist projects to niche technical expertise – handling project scoping, talent vetting and matching, contracting, payroll, and compliance so that our clients can focus on impact.

High-Level Overview 

This is an independent, part-time appointment suited to senior professionals with significant experience as either a renewable energy developer or investor. Candidates must have a deep understanding of DRE or renewables, strong familiarity with African markets, and the ability to provide high-level guidance in evaluating complex investments within emerging market contexts.
