3moThank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the work "interesting" and your colleagues to be a highlight - we agree that our team is exceptional.
You noted the introduction of a new management structure. As we transition from a boutique firm to a scaling organisation Driven to lead in the climate finance sector, evolving our structure is necessary. This evolution is about Delivering Excellence. As we take on larger, more complex mandates, we have invested in a leadership layer designed to ensure consistency, quality assurance, and strategic coherence across the organisation. While we understand that moving from a flat structure to a more matured hierarchy can feel like a shift in culture, it is a vital step in ensuring we can deliver reliably for our clients.
We are committed to being Connected and transparent about our direction. In a high-stakes industry, leadership requires making difficult, objective decisions to mitigate risk and ensure the financial health of the company. We believe that true fairness is found in accountability. We strive to make decisions that protect the long-term viability of the organisation and the careers of those performing at a high level. While these decisions are not always easy or universally popular, they are made with the clear intent of sustaining a high-performance environment.
We remain deeply committed to our core value of Empathy. To us, empathy means providing clear expectations and honest feedback, so our team knows exactly where they stand. We are building an organisation for professionals who value directness and are eager to grow within a robust, ambitious support structure.
We wish you the very best in your next steps.
We understand that dismissals can create resentment, but these decisions are made to protect the long-term viability of the organisation and our high-performance environment. We are open about our performance culture and welcome anyone in our application process to speak with our team to get a true sense of our environment and values.
