Job Characteristics

• Model Development : Leading the day-to-day modelling of model development assignments. All aspects of financial modelling may be required.
• Financial Advisory : Supporting the financial advisory team in their transaction work, including assisting with model development, funding competitions and liaising with clients regarding key financial issues.
• Project managing smaller projects, providing support and coaching to junior staff.
• Building and managing customer relationships, with an option to join our modelling sales team, creating pitches to clients to win work.

Experience, knowledge and skills

• 2 - 4 years' experience building and primarily working with cashflow models.
• Effective communicator who can explain ideas and concepts both verbally and in writing.
• Confident with client contact.
• Internal teamwork is essential. Candidates must be happy to work in a co-operative and flexible environment.
• Self-motivated and confident in working independently.
• Experience in project finance and infrastructure modelling.
• Experience in model audit processes.
• Familiarity with programming languages (particularly VBA or C#).
• Business level non-English languages (particularly French or Spanish).

• has a strong drive to develop their financial modelling knowledge and expertise.
• is flexible, co-operative, and enjoys working collaboratively within a small team.
• is approachable, friendly and supportive.
• has excellent attention to detail.
