We’re hiring a Principal to play a central role in building and scaling a high-performing investment platform. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for an investor who wants real ownership—of deals, outcomes, and the long-term success of the firm.
As a Principal, you will sit at the intersection of strategy, execution, and leadership. You will lead investments from origination through exit, work closely with co-founders, the CFO, and investment colleagues to drive aligned execution, and help shape the firm’s investment culture and portfolio.
Your Northstar is to drive exceptional returns for our shareholders.
You want your career to move the needle for the planet. You are:
An experienced investor with a strong track record in private equity / growth equity with climate / cleantech exposure (i.e. worked on 10+ deals end to end).
A rigorous thinker with excellent financial, analytical, and judgment skills. An advanced degree (PhD or similar) is highly regarded, particularly if it allows you to de-risk emerging technologies through a technical lens.
A trusted partner to management teams who balances ambition with discipline
A direct, thoughtful and collaborative leader who combines high standards with low ego
Motivated by ownership, responsibility, and building something enduring
You are attracted by the opportunity to redefine venture investing and significantly accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world. We look for someone who sees obstacles as opportunities and doesn’t take no for an answer. And has fun doing it 🙂
Diverse teams perform better. Please bring your differences along.

Rypples is a permanent-capital platform built by two unicorn founders to scale ocean innovation. We back ocean-positive companies that are ready to grow and stay with them through the hard part: execution at scale. Rypples is not a fund. We invest from our own balance sheet as a long-term anchor shareholder and execution partner. In the past 12 months, we’ve invested in 10 companies across Ocean Health, Ecosystems, Data, Maritime, and Blue Foods. Our ambition is to deploy $1bn into 100 ocean-positive solutions and establish a new capital model designed for scale.
