- Work closely with HCRP’s internal technical team to translate geological, engineering, metallurgical, and operating information into investment conclusions.

- Support the ongoing management of portfolio companies, including budgeting, strategic planning, capital allocation, financing, operational performance, and growth initiatives.
- Coordinate financial, technical, legal, commercial, and operational workstreams across multiple concurrent transactions.
- Build relationships with management teams, operating partners, advisors, lenders, strategic counterparties, and other industry participants.
- Travel internationally to portfolio companies, operating sites, prospective investments,
