Job Description

In this role, you will be working within the Investment Management team to commercialise and finance Eku’s Japan battery portfolio. Reporting to the Investment Manager, you will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams across the business (including development, technical and markets functions) to build the investment case for individual projects and broader capital raising initiatives. The role will have a transaction based focus, leveraging your strong deal management and financial modelling abilities to drive high quality execution.

This role is well suited to someone with 2+ years experience in a fast paced transaction advisory or principal investing type environment, looking to move into the dynamic intersection of strategic/developer and asset/funds management work. In a small and high performing team at the forefront of the energy transition, you will have significant opportunity for growth and development. While the primary focus of this role is Japan project execution, opportunities for collaboration and work across the business globally (including Japan, UK, Italy and new markets) are open to the candidate’s interests.

• Develop and own the business case for new projects and capital raising initiatives with a focus on valuation and risk/return optimisation, presenting recommendations to the Eku management team IC and shareholder forums to ultimately seek investment approval;
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including development, technical and markets functions) to align financial inputs and risk considerations;
• Construct and maintain the financial model for Japan projects across the development life-cycle through to FID and execution of any external financing;
• Design and carry out robust financial analysis to support negotiation of key contracts and commercial decision-making generally;

• Transaction support for acquisition of existing assets or developments on a select basis;
• Liaise with the global Investment Management team to knowledge share and maintain consistency and best practices across the business.

Competencies of the role

You will ideally have spent a couple years out of university in an investment banking or similar transaction focused environment. The BESS asset class exhibits infrastructure investment characteristics, lending itself to project finance; a core competency of this role is deep understanding of project finance principles paired with ability to build and manage an infrastructure project finance model.

You should have excellent communication skills, collaborating with teams from diverse backgrounds and distilling complex financial concepts into clear decision-making frameworks and conclusions. You will be highly motivated and proactive, taking advantage of development opportunities within an experienced team in renewables development and investment.

If you have a growth mindset, are curious and have a passion for the energy transition, we want to hear from you.
