Investment Analyst – Market Leading IPP
The Company
Our client is a market-leading Independent Power Producer (IPP) with a substantial and growing pipeline of renewable energy projects across the UK and Europe. The investment team sits at the heart of the business, running all corporate financing matters - including debt financing, M&A and corporate development - and taking projects from early-stage development through investment approval and into construction.
The team is currently nine strong: a Senior Director, a Director, two Investment Principals (VP-level), two Associates and three Analysts. The business is in growth mode and regularly expands the team, with a genuine track record of promoting from within - recent analyst hires have progressed to Associate within their first 12-18 months.
The Role
The Investment Analyst will get broad exposure across debt, equity and M&A, working both buy-side and sell-side, on live transactions from day one. This is a hands-on, high-responsibility role for someone who wants to be closely involved in deal execution rather than sitting on the periphery.
