Investment Banking
Project finance and M&A teams across infrastructure and renewables: coverage, execution and structured financing, from VP to Managing Director.
Executive search across investment banking, private equity, private credit and the funds and asset managers behind infrastructure and renewables. A New York desk, wired into the capital that finances the assets the world runs on.
Black Grid Partners is a specialist search firm for the most capital-intensive corners of finance. We work on a deliberately small number of senior mandates, for the banks, funds, credit and asset managers moving billions into infrastructure and the energy transition: power, renewables, and the deals and debt behind them.
Covers every sector from one desk. Runs the same keyword searches, works the same lists, and sends you the names already circulating on every other desk in town. You get a shortlist of whoever was available - not whoever was right.
We have spent our careers inside infrastructure and renewables finance. We know who is genuinely good, who is quietly ready to move, who is overrated, and who has never once appeared on a job board. We do not sell you a database. We sell you judgment.
Every name comes with a point of view: the case for them, the risk beside it, and the reason they will take the call.
Capital and infrastructure don't respect borders, and neither do our searches. From a single New York desk we run mandates into the hubs where the deals are done - and we know the people who move between them.

"We place the people financing infrastructure and the energy transition - before the market knows the seat is open."
We chart every relevant operator for a role before approaching anyone. You see the landscape - not a shortlist of whoever was available.
The best people are never looking. We reach them directly, discreetly, and on the strength of a conversation worth their time.
Structured, evidence-based evaluation against the mandate. We present the argument for every candidate and the risks alongside it.
We manage the offer, the counter and the move. A search is only successful when the hire is still there a year later.
Money is queuing to fund renewables. The professionals who can actually deploy it are not.

Read →The funds that win the next vintage are hiring origination and underwriting talent now.
Read →We take few mandates and treat each as the only one. You get a principal on the phone, a mapped market, and a search you can stake your reputation on.
Make an enquiry →A conversation with Black Grid is confidential, considered, and worth your time. No spray-and-pray, no role you've already seen three times this month.
