About the Role

This role supports the company’s capital formation and inorganic growth activities, contributing to funding rounds, strategic partnerships, and investment decisions. The position will translate complex and incomplete information into rigorous financial and investment cases, to support the VP, Corporate Development and executive team with high-quality analysis and insight. Success in this role will be defined by the quality, clarity, and reliability of financial analysis supporting capital raising and strategic decisions, and the efficient execution of funding and transaction processes.

Responsibilities

Execute corporate development initiatives across funding, strategy, and transactions.
Prepare high-quality investor, board, and transaction materials (IMs, presentations, supporting analysis).
Support funder relationships by tracking inbound interest, mapping mandates, and informing engagement strategy.
Co-develop investment cases across financing structures, partnerships, and M&A opportunities.
Manage data rooms and coordinate internal/external diligence processes.
Partner with external advisers (banks, legal, consultants) on models, structures, and financing vehicles.
Lead M&A and selective inorganic analysis, including valuation, diligence, and clear recommendation synthesis.
Build robust, defensible financial models across projects, transactions, and products with clear assumptions.
Enhance modelling efficiency, automation, and data quality across Corporate Development.
Provide analytical input to levelised costs, corporate planning, and strategic decision-making.
Support broader modelling needs (planning, opportunity evaluation, JV analysis, proposition modelling).
Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders.
Collaborate cross-functionally to maintain a deep understanding of project and opportunity pipelines.
Identify and support partnerships across the value chain (transport, sequestration, utilisation).
Build relationships across the ecosystem (banks, infrastructure/transition funds, industry partners).
Support development of long-term roadmaps and investment recommendations for executives.
Provide guidance, mentorship, and quality review across team outputs.
Coordinate workstreams across analysts and associates while maintaining a strong individual contribution (~70–80%).
Build strong internal relationships and organisational trust.

Requirements

Background in corporate development, corporate finance, investment banking, private equity/infrastructure, or transactional FP&A, with direct exposure to funding, transactions, or strategic analysis.
Experience in energy transition, industrials, or infrastructure preferred; exposure to carbon capture or decarbonisation economics advantageous.
Strong understanding of capital raising processes, including investor materials, diligence coordination, and working with external advisers.
Advanced financial modelling across project and corporate finance, including scenario and sensitivity analysis.
Proven ability to translate complex or incomplete data into structured, decision-ready insights.
Strong grasp of project economics, key value drivers, and cost curves (e.g., LCOC) for capital-intensive sectors.
Comfortable working with large, imperfect datasets and forming robust assumptions; experience with data tools (incl. generative AI) is a plus.
Experience supporting M&A, joint ventures, partnerships, or other inorganic growth initiatives, including valuation and diligence.
Familiarity engaging with investment banks, legal counsel, and consultants through transaction or funding processes.
Ability to assess counterparties’ capabilities, incentives, and strategic fit across structures.
Strong cross-functional collaboration with technical, commercial, and senior stakeholders in fast-paced environments.
Clear and structured communicator, able to distill analysis into executive-level insights.
Highly organised, capable of managing multiple workstreams with competing priorities.
Comfortable operating with autonomy while aligning appropriately; thrives in high-performance finance or transaction environments.
Can join immediately.
