• Strong technical and analytical ability, with experience in building financial models and credit underwriting.
• Exposure to European infrastructure debt markets; experience across US or emerging markets is an advantage.
• A rigorous, detail‑oriented approach and a solid understanding of infrastructure sub‑sectors and debt structures.
