Careers

At Terra Firma, we seek individuals driven by performance and purpose: people who are passionate about building better businesses, achieving outstanding outcomes and having a positive impact on the world we live in. Our culture is built on embracing fresh perspectives, innovative thinking and working together in an ongoing pursuit of the highest levels of business performance.

Our in-house team brings together a wealth of skills and experiences, from finance, consultancy, private equity, law and accountancy professionals, to specialists in tax, operations, strategy, human capital, technology, ESG, philanthropy and communications. We work in multi-disciplinary teams, allowing us to develop a unique understanding of industries and business models and to manage the entire investment process from acquisition through transformation and, where relevant, to exit.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome qualified candidates from all backgrounds.

What we look for

Our ideal candidate will display intellectual curiosity, mental agility and resilience, performance drive, a collaborative spirit and a passion for making a positive, lasting difference through Terra Firma and our portfolio businesses. We believe that building a team with different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences drives new ideas, creativity and innovation to achieve business success.

Analysts & Associates

At the analyst and associate level, we look for exceptional individuals who will thrive in our performance-driven, fast paced environment, where challenging the status quo is encouraged and personal growth and development is supported.

Analysts and associates work in our investment management teams, focusing on driving operational excellence and business performance in one or two of our portfolio businesses. These roles are dynamic and may see individuals rotating to different portfolio business teams within Terra Firma as and when the operational requirements of our businesses evolve.

Our analysts and associates benefit from unrivalled exposure to senior leadership both at Terra Firma and within the portfolio businesses. Our non-hierarchical structure enables accelerated learning and hands-on experience across all aspects of business transformation and operational improvement.

Operational Experts

Because our strategy is highly transformational, we have a very interventionist and hands-on approach to managing our investments, which is overseen by our team of industry specialists and strong operational leaders.
