Looking for a role where you can safeguard and steer a growing portfolio of non-recourse financings after financial close? Join our Project and Asset Finance team in Copenhagen as a Portfolio Management Professional and help manage EE’s financing obligations across Europe.

In this role, you will work directly with the Global Head of Project and Asset Finance, the transaction deal teams, Asset Management, and Treasury, as well as the more than 25 other members of the broader M&A and Project Finance department dedicated to commercialising EE’s asset portfolio.

Your New Role

As our new Portfolio Management Professional, you will, in collaboration with colleagues within our Asset Management and Treasury departments, take ownership of EE’s financing obligations once a transaction reaches financial close. You will track asset finance transactions through construction and operation, quality-assure disbursements, reporting, waivers, and amendments, and act as the link between the deal team, Asset Management, and Treasury. This is a role for someone who wants broad visibility across a growing portfolio of non-recourse financings and a direct hand in keeping it in good order.

Your Responsibilities

• Assist with transaction closing and documentation ahead of financial close.

• Ensure a timely, clear, and detailed handoff of post-closing responsibilities to other internal stakeholders.

• Shadow and track all transactions throughout construction, providing support and quality assurance on disbursements, construction reporting, waivers, and amendments.

• Support and quality-assure the work of Asset Management during material restructurings

Prerequisites to progress in the job

• You have a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience in project finance, loan or portfolio administration, agency, or credit/portfolio monitoring roles, ideally within renewable energy or infrastructure.

• You have experience with post-closing management of non-recourse financings, including disbursements, covenant compliance, and reporting obligations.

• You have exposure to restructurings, workouts, or amendments, and are comfortable in quality-assuring the work of others.

• You have strong attention to detail and can work confidently across a large, growing portfolio of transactions.

• You have solid financial modelling and analytical skills, and a robust understanding of financing documentation.

As a person, you are structured and detail-oriented and can be trusted to keep track of many transactions in parallel without losing sight of what matters. You are a natural coordinator, comfortable working across the deal team, Asset Management, and Treasury, and you communicate clearly with both technical and financial audiences. You have a genuine interest in the financial market and the renewable energy sector.

You may be asked to travel occasionally to meet with stakeholders across Europe.

With us you get

• Close collaboration with senior colleagues and meaningful deal ownership from day one

• A culture of knowledge sharing and international collaboration across 21+ countries

• Flexible work policy and a diverse, inclusive work environment
