About the role

The Finance Manager – Project Finance will lead the structuring, evaluation, negotiation, and execution of financing for energy, infrastructure, and other capital-intensive projects. The role requires strong banking experience and practical understanding of credit underwriting, lender requirements, facility documentation, security arrangements, financial covenants, and funding conditions. The successful candidate will translate project assumptions into bankable financing structures, manage relationships with banks and other funding partners, and drive transactions from initial assessment through financial close, drawdown, and ongoing portfolio monitoring.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and execute project-financing strategies, including debt sizing, leverage assessment, repayment sculpting, reserve accounts, covenant structures, sponsor support, and limited-recourse or non-recourse financing where appropriate.

• Lead financing discussions and negotiations with Philippine commercial banks, foreign banks, bank syndicates, development finance institutions, and other eligible lenders or funding partners.

• Prepare and coordinate lender presentations, information memoranda, financing proposals, data rooms, due-diligence responses, and internal approval materials.

• Manage financing workstreams from initial lender engagement and credit approval through legal documentation, financial close, satisfaction of conditions precedent, and first drawdown.

• Assess refinancing, bridge financing, construction financing, working-capital facilities, and other funding options aligned with project milestones and cash-flow requirements.

• Use prior banking experience to anticipate lender credit requirements, risk concerns, approval processes, documentation standards, and portfolio-monitoring expectations.

• Build and maintain productive relationships with relationship managers, credit officers, project-finance teams, and other relevant bank stakeholders.

• Build, maintain, and review integrated project-finance models covering construction, operations, capital expenditure, operating costs, taxes, working capital, debt drawdown, repayment profiles, and cash-flow waterfalls.

• Coordinate financial, legal, technical, insurance, tax, environmental/social, and regulatory due diligence with internal teams and external advisers.

About you

• At least 5 - 10 years of progressive relevant experience in project finance, infrastructure/energy finance, structured or corporate lending, investment banking, development finance, or transaction-focused corporate finance.

• Substantial bank experience is required, preferably in project finance, corporate banking, structured finance, credit analysis/underwriting, loan syndication, or infrastructure and energy lending.

• A demonstrable track record supporting or leading project-financing transactions, preferably from term-sheet negotiation through financial close and drawdown.

• Advanced financial modeling skills, including integrated project-finance models, debt sizing, repayment sculpting, DSCR/LLCR/PLCR, DSRA, sensitivities, downside cases, and covenant analysis.

• Practical understanding of facility agreements, security and collateral structures, financial covenants, conditions precedent, drawdown mechanics, and lender reporting.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related discipline.

• Strong negotiation, stakeholder-management, analytical, communication, and project-management skills, with the ability to manage several financing workstreams and tight transaction deadlines.

• Philippine renewable energy, power, infrastructure, PPP, utilities, real estate, or telecommunications experience is strongly preferred.
