Our infrastructure coverage spans a broad range of sectors, including transportation (roads, rail, airports, ports), social infrastructure (hospitals, schools), environmental assets (water, waste, recycling), regulated utilities, e-mobility (EV charging, electric buses), and hybrid infrastructure sub-sectors such as motorway services, storage terminals, car parks, and smart metering.

• Assist in the ongoing management of portfolio transactions, including waivers and annual reviews
• Mentor and support junior team members

What We're Looking For

• Prior VP-level experience in a bank or comparable financial institution
• Strong background in project finance or structured finance, with a high level of product expertise

• Advanced Excel skills, including hands-on experience with project finance models
• Strong analytical, numerical, and written communication skills in English
• Ability to work autonomously under pressure and manage competing deadlines
• CFA qualification or accountancy degree
• Familiarity with infrastructure M&A advisory

• Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
• Highly organised with the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment
