A bit about the job:

The role focuses on structuring, investing in and managing bespoke equity investments in the sustainable infrastructure and climate transition space across Europe. As an Associate (Director) in the team, you play an instrumental role in delivering the team’s growth ambitions and will be responsible for providing day-to-day leadership, organisation, execution, and mentorship to more junior team members. Responsibilities attained to the role will cover the full lifecycle of our investments including origination, execution, asset management through to disposals. Alongside this you will also support Directors in external market engagement and origination efforts including undertaking and presenting relevant market/sector/investment research while building your own network of potential partners and suitable target assets, and preparing and delivering investment/partnership presentations in a clear and concise manner.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Financially and commercially astute with strong analytical, problem solving and numeracy skills. Advanced technical financial modelling and analysis skills are essential.  Ideally these skills will have been gained in the infrastructure team at an investment bank or M&A advisor.

• Execution skills across investment research, analysis, structuring and negotiating financing and due diligence (commercial, financial, strategic, legal, technical) through live deal experience.

• A self-starter with tenacity who is down-to-earth, straightforward, team orientated, hardworking and demonstrates good judgement.

• Skilled communicator who is thoughtful and commercial with strong written report/presentation and oral skills

• Ability to demonstrate strong planning and prioritisation skills with an ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks, keeping visibility on urgency/importance and re-adjusting prioritization as needed.

• Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in

• Aviva Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme

In this role you’ll be ‘Certified’ under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR).

We’ll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
