Investment Analyst – Social Impact Investing

Figurative is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to impact, investment and innovation in the cultural and creative sector. We bring together deep expertise through Arts & Culture Finance (formerly part of Nesta) and New Philanthropy for Arts & Culture to unlock new and innovative ways of funding and supporting the UK’s arts ecosystem.

We believe arts and culture have the power to transform lives and communities. Our mission is to ensure cultural and creative organisations can thrive, test bold ideas, and build sustainable futures.

The Role

We’re looking for a motivated, curious Investment Analyst to join our close-knit, fast-paced team and help broaden access to social finance for arts, culture and heritage organisations across the UK.

You’ll primarily support our flagship £18 million Arts & Culture Impact Fund (ACIF), which provides flexible loans to enable arts, culture and heritage organisations to achieve their ambitions. In this role, you’ll work across the full investment cycle — from assessing new opportunities to supporting portfolio organisations. Current investees range from Music Venue Properties, which brings grassroots music venues into community ownership, to the Royal Shakespeare Company, an innovative theatre company with a global reach.
