The Team

Impact Investing at MassMutual seeks to make attractive financial returns and have a positive social and/or environmental impact that is measurable.  Philanthropy alone cannot solve our society’s problems - institutional capital can and should play a role. There are clear societal and global needs to address the wellbeing and prosperity of people and the health of the planet. By adding an impact lens to our investment process, we can evaluate our investment outcomes and their social and environmental additionalities. 

The MassMutual Catalyst Funds (MMCF) I & II — a $150 million commitment to increase diversity in, and access to, venture capital and invest in innovative products and services that advance economic and social mobility. 

The First Fund Initiative is a $150 million commitment by MassMutual to address and overcome historic barriers to capital and advance capital equity. First Fund’s allocation strategy centers on funds that are systemically overlooked by financial institutions and have a differentiated investment thesis with the ability to generate positive social impact as well as risk-adjusted market rate financial returns. 

The Impact:

The Impact Investment Principal will be a critical member of the Impact Investing team.  The Investment Principal will report to the Head of Mass Mutual Catalyst Funds, and work with the MassMutual Catalyst Fund team on deal origination, underwriting, management and reporting on investments for the MassMutual Catalyst Funds.

This responsibility extends to evaluating what is proven effective and what requires further innovation as we seek to build up, evolve and expand both the MassMutual Catalyst Funds in addition to the First Fund Initiative.  Given the comparatively immature nature of the target companies for the MassMutual Catalyst Funds, the Impact Investing Team’s responsibilities will include coaching of, and advising and consulting with, the entrepreneurs leading these portfolio companies.  As such, the Investment Principal will need to be able to work with emerging entrepreneurs in a constructive and consultative way to help those entrepreneurs identify and solve their respective business problems and funding needs.

As a critical member of the Impact Investment team, you will work in an innovative, impact driven, fast paced, collaborative environment to drive financial returns and social change.  A consultative, hands on, culturally competent approach coupled with demonstrated experience of startup financing, venture capital, private equity and/or alternative investments are required daily to source, analyze, negotiate, model, underwrite and provide human capital to entrepreneurs and emerging fund managers.

  • 5+ years of related work experience in private equity or venture capital investing
