• Take deals through the full cycle — indicative offers, binding bids and financial close
• Run the due diligence process, coordinating external legal, technical, financial and tax advisors
• Structure acquisitions to fit each situation — asset versus share deals, earn-outs, majority or minority positions, JVs
• Build and refine valuation and project finance models (DCF, LBO), and pressure-test returns against regulatory, tariff, curtailment and FX risk
• Prepare and present investment memos through the approval process
• Negotiate SPAs, SHAs and disclosure schedules with legal counsel, and review key project contracts to assess risk
• Work with asset management and operations to integrate acquired assets

Requirements

• Degree in finance, economics, accounting or engineering with a strong quantitative bent
• CFA or an MBA from a leading institution is an advantage
• At least 6-10 years across infrastructure M&A, private equity or corporate development, with closed renewable energy transactions
• Strong command of SPAs, SHAs and project loan documentation, plus solid corporate finance, tax and IFRS grounding
• The instinct to challenge seller assumptions and run multiple advisor streams to tight deadlines
