The Opportunity
Levoca is seeking a Senior Associate, Advisory & Impact Finance Strategy to join our growing team in Miami. We are building a team of exceptional people where every person is expected to be outstanding in their role and to raise the bar for the colleagues around them.

This role is designed for an exceptional strategist who wants to work at the forefront of impact finance, sustainable finance, and AI-enabled advisory. The successful candidate will lead and support complex analytical workstreams across client engagements, contribute to the design of innovative finance structures, and help strengthen Levoca’s capabilities in advisory, intermediation, and market-building.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who combines strong analytical horsepower with sound judgment, excellent communication, and a genuine interest in shaping the future of impact and outcomes-based finance.

Role Summary
The Senior Associate will play a central role in delivering high-quality analytical and strategic work across Levoca’s advisory portfolio. This person will support and increasingly lead workstreams related to sustainable finance, blended finance, outcomes-based finance, market research, financial strategy, and client delivery.

They will also help integrate AI-enabled workflows into our delivery model, using the right tools to accelerate research, synthesis, and insight generation while maintaining a high bar for rigor and quality.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in demanding, fast-paced environments, enjoys solving ambiguous and high-stakes problems, and wants to grow into broader engagement leadership over time.

Key Responsibilities
Strategic Advisory and Analytical Delivery

Structure and execute complex analytical workstreams across Levoca’s advisory, sustainable finance, and outcomes-based finance engagements.

Conduct market assessments, policy and ecosystem analysis, investor and stakeholder research, competitive benchmarking, and strategic synthesis for global clients and partners.

Translate complex quantitative and qualitative inputs into clear strategic recommendations, practical options, and decision-ready materials.

Support the design of high-impact advisory engagements from problem framing through final delivery.

Client-Facing Materials and Strategic Communication

Produce high-quality presentations, strategy memos, briefing notes, and investor-facing materials suitable for senior client, donor, and partner audiences.

Lead the development of Excel-based models, including modeled financial statements, and provide junior staff with the necessary inputs to produce data visualizations suitable for senior client audiences.

Distill complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives with strong executive-level judgment and attention to detail.

Help ensure all external-facing work meets a consistently high Levoca standard for substance, structure, and polish.

Innovative Finance and Product Design

Contribute to the design of outcomes-based finance and blended finance structures, including logic models, governance considerations, KPI frameworks, incentive design, and commercial architecture.

Support development of market-building approaches, funding models, and strategic initiatives that expand Levoca’s intermediation and advisory capabilities.

Help shape repeatable tools, methods, and offerings that can be deployed across clients and markets.

Support the build-out of Levoca's future capabilities in outcomes-finance intermediation or fund-management related work, including pipeline logic, screening, portfolio thinking, and reporting structures as relevant.

AI-Enabled Delivery and Capability Building

Use AI tools and workflow design to improve the speed, depth, and efficiency of research, synthesis, and content development — exercising judgment about when AI accelerates the work and when it risks eroding rigor.

Contribute to the development of Levoca’s AI-enabled delivery model, identifying where technology can improve quality and reduce manual effort without compromising rigor.

Help codify and scale effective internal methods for research, analysis, and insight generation.

Team Contribution and Firm Building

Help translate client needs into structured workplans, clear timelines, and well-managed delivery processes.

Contribute to proposal development, internal knowledge building, and selected firmwide strategic priorities.

Support the development of thought leadership and market-facing content that strengthens Levoca’s external profile and point of view.

Candidate Profile

You have strong analytical training, outstanding communication skills, and a clear interest in the future of finance for impact. The strongest candidates are intellectually sharp, highly reliable, and comfortable operating with both autonomy and humility in a demanding client-service environment.

They will be energized by the opportunity to work on complex global problems, contribute to the design of new financial approaches, and help build a next-generation advisory platform.
