• Help prepare periodic investor reporting, including drafting content for portfolio updates and ensuring data accuracy.
• Participate in restructuring or remediation efforts as needed, providing analytical and documentation support.

Core Skills:

Working Environment:

• Collaboration with other team members as well as interaction with fund managers.

Who This Role Suits:

• Someone with a genuine interest in infrastructure finance, especially the ongoing performance and control side.

• Professionals from backgrounds such as project finance, infrastructure credit, or energy/utilities analysis.
• Someone who is personable, organised, and motivated by working across multiple investments in a dynamic environment.
