Summer Investment Associate Application Deadline: 11:59 pm EST on January 14, 2013
(applicants must be enrolled in a full-time MBA, MPA and/ or MPP program and expected to graduate in May/June 2014)

About You
You aspire to become a leader in impact investing by tackling global issues, from malnutrition to climate change to economic growth, ensuring no population is left behind. You enjoy working with teams to tackle challenging problems while traveling and working across continents and cultures. You excel in solving problems using rigorous financial analysis, and you want to put your skills to work – lighting villages in Africa, funding start-ups, enriching the world’s food supply, and transforming the organizations that fund change. You are a passionate, committed self-starter with an excellent academic record, experience as a ‘top-performer’ in a leading asset management, investment banking, or other financial services firm pre-graduate school, a passion for impact investing, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
D. Capital’s success starts with its people. D. Capital team members live and work around the world, creating a network of local experience anchored by our offices in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. We combine ground-level insight with experience from top-tier professional services firms and leading academic institutions to create actionable solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.
If you are a full-time graduate student getting an MBA, MPA and/or MPP who wants to make a difference in international development, we encourage you to apply for the Summer Investment Associate position.
