• Support the development of decarbonisation strategies and investment cases based on quantitative regulatory insights
• Preparing financial models and conducting in-depth analysis to evaluate various high-stakes transactions
• Managing and coordinating various commercial projects to ensure timely and efficient execution

Qualifications

• Exceptional proficiency in Microsoft Excel for complex financial and data modelling, including advanced formulas, pivot tables, scenario managers, and data visualisation
