Who are we recruiting for

Our client is a fast-growing renewable energy platform with a strong presence across European markets, focused on the development, acquisition, and operation of clean energy and storage assets. Backed by a leading infrastructure investor and supported by long-term institutional capital, the business is exceptionally well positioned to continue scaling its footprint across multiple geographies and technologies.

With a rapidly expanding pipeline and a clear build‑out strategy, the platform is playing a key role in the energy transition, combining financial expertise with deep sector knowledge to support complex investment decisions and portfolio growth.

What will you be doing

• Build and maintain complex financial models for renewable energy assets and portfolios, including greenfield, brownfield, and operational projects.
• Support live transactions (buy‑side and sell‑side) through detailed valuation, scenario analysis, and sensitivity modelling.
• Analyse and stress‑test key assumptions including wholesale power prices, generation volumes, CAPEX/OPEX, and regulatory frameworks.
• Develop and manage debt sizing, return analysis, and capital structure modelling.
• Work closely with M&A, structured finance, investment, and asset management teams to translate commercial and technical inputs into robust financial models.
• Review, challenge, and improve third‑party models provided by advisers, banks, and partners.
• Contribute to the standardisation and continuous improvement of internal modelling frameworks and best‑practice templates.
• Produce clear, high‑quality outputs to support Investment Committee papers and senior decision‑making.
• Act as a trusted internal modelling expert, able to clearly explain complex outputs in a commercial and accessible way.

Are you the ideal candidate

• 5+ years of experience in project finance, infrastructure finance, corporate finance, or transaction modelling.
• Background in a top‑tier advisory environment (Big 4, investment bank, boutique infrastructure advisory, or specialist modelling firm).
• Proven ability to build complex financial models from scratch (not just adapt templates).
• Strong experience in renewable energy modelling, ideally including solar and/or wind projects.
• Exposure to battery energy storage systems (BESS) is a strong advantage.
• Experience working with wholesale / merchant power price assumptions and integrating them into project and portfolio models.
• Strong Excel skills with a focus on best‑practice modelling standards (auditability, structure, checks, scenarios, sensitivities).
• Ability to review and enhance external models from advisers, lenders, and JV partners.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical modelling outputs into clear commercial insights.
• Collaborative, low‑ego team player comfortable working across multicultural teams in Paris, Milan, and Madrid.
• Motivated by platform growth and open to evolving into broader investment roles over time.

What’s in it

• A central role within a fast‑growing renewable energy platform with a clear expansion roadmap
• Exposure to complex, high‑value transactions across multiple European markets and technologies
• A highly collaborative and growing central modelling team
• Direct interaction with senior investment and leadership stakeholders
• Strong potential for progression into broader investment, M&A, or structured finance roles over the medium term
