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.
