* Deal structuring and execution support - term sheets, shareholder agreements, investment documentation
* Ongoing portfolio monitoring including Board attendance, financial performance tracking and valuation maintenance
* Supporting LP reporting, quarterly updates and investor communications
The Candidate:
* Strong academic background with a degree from a leading university
* 4+ years of experience in private equity, infrastructure investment, investment banking, project finance, consulting, with direct deal exposure.
* Demonstrable financial modelling capability across multiple deal types
* Familiarity with ESG frameworks (SFDR, TCFD) and responsible investment principles desirable
* Genuine interest in the energy transition - commercially and intellectually
* Additional European language skills are advantageous
