As Portfolio Associate – Real Assets, you will play an active role in the management and strategic development of Viessmann’s Generational Portfolio across real estate, forestry, and regenerative agriculture.
The role focuses on performance optimisation, structured portfolio management, and disciplined capital allocation within a long-term capital platform. Rather than transaction-driven execution, it emphasises ownership, operational value creation, and resilient portfolio construction.
As a globally active, independent family business in its fourth generation, we have been shaping living spaces for generations to come since 1917. Under the leadership of Max Viessmann, we pursue our mission with a long-term perspective and entrepreneurial spirit.
Today, the Viessmann Generations Group supports over 30 mid-sized companies and family businesses across Europe and the US as well as a broad real assets portfolio – all united by their active contribution to the energy transition. We invest capital, expertise, and passion in three core impact areas:
Climate: Renewable energy, carbon reduction, and green infrastructure
Water: Solutions for water scarcity, quality, and efficiency
Food: Sustainable agriculture, supply chain innovation, and food technology
Our goal: to create impact – ecological, societal, and entrepreneurial.
The Viessmann Way supports how we work, lead, and create value together - whether as a team member, entrepreneur or partner in our ecosystem. It is not a rulebook, but a compass: a living set of principles shaped by over a century of entrepreneurship and guided by our long-term purpose.
Through Generational Investments, we pursue cross-generational commitments in real estate, forestry, regenerative agriculture, and renewable energy.
We act as both investor and steward, combining financial performance with ecological and societal responsibility. Our real estate investments prioritise energy efficiency, community well-being, and responsible resource use. In forestry, we focus on sustainably managed assets that sequester carbon and protect biodiversity. In agriculture, we support regenerative practices that restore soil health and strengthen resilient food systems.
This role contributes directly to the performance optimisation and strategic development of Viessmann’s real assets portfolio.
