• Strategic Investment Support: Contribute to investment approval processes by evaluating impacts on platform value and ensuring alignment with strategic objectives;
• Financial Modelling: Maintain and enhance a complex corporate financial model, incorporating scenario analysis, sensitivities, and commercial inputs from across the business;
• Stakeholder Engagement: Partner closely with the Investment, Strategy, Finance, and Asset Management teams to ensure cohesive financial planning and support for commercial decision-making;
• Ad Hoc Analysis: Deliver scenario planning, tornado charts, and bespoke analysis to support senior leadership.

Skills & Experience:

• Strong FP&A experience, ideally gained within renewable energy, infrastructure, or private equity-backed businesses;
• Demonstrable experience managing valuation cycles, including the consolidation of asset-level models and assumptions into group forecasts;
• Hands-on expertise in complex financial modelling, including scenario and sensitivity analysis at both project and platform levels;
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives for Board and shareholder audiences;
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence at senior levels;
• Background in investment banking, corporate finance, or project finance is strongly desirable;
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-paced environment, with a proactive and delivery-focused mindset.
