• Take ownership of execution workstreams across live M&A mandates (sell-side, buy-side, and strategic advisory).
• Lead and review financial modelling - including operating models, DCF, LBO, and merger analysis.
• Manage Analysts day-to-day, overseeing valuation work, due diligence, and client materials.
• Drive the preparation of client deliverables - pitch books, IMs, management presentations, and board materials.
• Interact directly with clients, advisors, and management teams throughout the deal lifecycle.
• Contribute to origination efforts, supporting senior bankers with sector coverage, pitches, and market intelligence.

• 3-6 years of investment banking experience, ideally with exposure to Infrastructure, Energy, or Power & Utilities M&A at a bulge bracket, elite boutique, or top-tier European bank.
• Strong track record of executing live transactions end-to-end.
• Excellent technical foundation - M&A, LBO, and DCF modelling, valuation, and structuring.
• Sector interest and knowledge across one or more infrastructure sub-sectors (digital, energy transition, transport, utilities).
• Strong client-facing skills, commercial mindset, and ability to manage multiple workstreams under pressure.
• Strong academic background; MBA/CFA a plus but not required.

• Market-leading base and bonus.
• Platform with global reach and a top-ranked European infrastructure franchise.
• Genuine path to VP and beyond for high performers.
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial team culture within a major institution.
