Key Responsibilities

• Transaction Execution: Support end-to-end execution of investments, including conducting due diligence, building financial models, preparing investment memorandums, and assisting with negotiations.
• Market Analysis: Research and analyze market trends, competitor activity, and regulatory developments across renewable energy, energy storage, and e-mobility sectors.
• Financial Modelling: Develop and maintain detailed financial models to assess investment returns, project viability, and business case scenarios. • Origination Support: Assist in sourcing and evaluating new investment opportunities, working closely with external advisors, developers, and partners.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Coordinate with internal teams (technical, commercial, legal) and external advisors (banks, consultants, lawyers) during the investment process.
• Portfolio Management: Monitor the performance of existing assets and support the optimization of portfolio returns through active asset management initiatives.
• Presentation Preparation: Prepare materials for internal investment committee meetings and external presentations to potential partners or investors.
• Risk Assessment: Identify key risks associated with potential investments and assist in developing appropriate mitigation strategies.

Role Requirements:

• 2–5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, project finance, corporate finance, or a similar environment.
• Exposure to the energy, renewables, infrastructure, or energy transition sectors is highly desirable.
• Strong financial modelling and valuation skills (DCF, IRR, sensitivities, etc.)
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Self-starter with a proactive mindset and the ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
• Passionate about the energy transition and sustainability.
