We are looking for an experienced Vice President to join our Infrastructure Finance team in EMEA. This is a high-impact role at the heart of some of the region's most complex and significant project finance transactions, spanning arranging, debt advisory, and infrastructure M&A advisory.
You will work closely with senior deal team leaders across the full transaction lifecycle — from origination through to execution — while taking ownership of key workstreams and providing guidance to more junior colleagues.
Our infrastructure coverage spans a broad range of sectors, including transportation (roads, rail, airports, ports), social infrastructure (hospitals, schools), environmental assets (water, waste, recycling), regulated utilities, e-mobility (EV charging, electric buses), and hybrid infrastructure sub-sectors such as motorway services, storage terminals, car parks, and smart metering.
What You'll Do
- Play an active role in the assessment of business opportunities and execution of project finance transactions, including financial modelling, due diligence, and documentation
- Support senior directors in origination activities, client marketing, and sector research
- Prepare and present high-quality marketing materials for client engagements
- Lead and assist in the preparation of credit applications and internal approval processes
- Manage and oversee the syndication process, including drafting information memoranda and coordinating Q&A with syndicate banks
- Ensure accurate reporting of client financial results (NBI, RWA, CWA) through internal systems, and support budgeting and planning processes
- Assist in the ongoing management of portfolio transactions, including waivers and annual reviews
- Mentor and support junior team members
What We're Looking For
- Prior VP-level experience in a bank or comparable financial institution
- Strong background in project finance or structured finance, with a high level of product expertise
- Proven experience in risk analysis, cashflow modelling, transaction due diligence, and documentation
- Advanced Excel skills, including hands-on experience with project finance models
- Strong analytical, numerical, and written communication skills in English
- Ability to work autonomously under pressure and manage competing deadlines
- CFA qualification or accountancy degree
- Familiarity with infrastructure M&A advisory
Personal Attributes
- Proactive self-starter with a collaborative team ethos
- Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
- Highly organised with the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment
