Manager, Investments, Appalachian Growth Fund, REDF

[Jocelyn Wyatt]

About REDF Impact Investing Fund (RIIF): RIIF is the lending and investment platform responsible for managing REDF’s family of debt and private impact investment funds. These funds—including the Appalachian Growth Fund (AGF) and future vehicles in development—provide flexible capital that supports the growth, sustainability, and impact of small and medium-sized businesses aligned with RIIF’s mission. 

The Role: This role is a benefited contract role that is currently funded through December 2028 with the potential for extension. 

RIIF is seeking a Manager, Investments to help expand due diligence capacity, strengthen the quality of investment decisions, and support fund growth across multiple private investment strategies. While the role will support all funds, the initial emphasis will be on the Appalachian Growth Fund, where continued ecosystem development has generated a growing pipeline of prospective investments across debt, equity, and hybrid structures. 

This individual will co-manage and evaluate deal flow alongside RIIF’s Appalachia Ecosystem Lead and will serve as a dedicated underwriter for transactions in Appalachia across multiple product types. The role requires sophisticated financial and strategic judgment, the ability to lead complex cross-team workstreams with limited direction, and a comfort with ambiguity inherent to early stage fund building. The ideal candidate brings strong private equity or growth-stage investment experience, an ability to adapt RIIF’s investment toolkit across products and contexts, and a natural inclination to leverage modern tools—including AI—to enhance analytical rigor and efficiency. This individual will report to RIIF’s CFO.
