You will be the analytical engine behind our client’s most critical growth initiatives. Your primary mission will be to identify, evaluate, and build compelling, board-level business cases for new technology investments, partnerships, and ventures.

• Build Sophisticated Financial Models: Construct and manage complex financial models to evaluate investment opportunities, focusing on key metrics like Return on Investment (ROI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), and cash payback periods.
• Conduct Rigorous Due Diligence: Perform deep dives into potential investments, stress-testing all underlying assumptions related to market size, competitive threats, revenue projections, and operational costs.
• Drive Investment Strategy: Analyze potential partners with valuable IP, structure investment scenarios, and provide clear recommendations on the most viable paths to commercialization and value creation.
• Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with legal, technical, and business unit leaders to gather inputs for your analysis and present your findings and strategic recommendations to C-suite executives and senior leadership.
• Market & Competitive Analysis: Maintain a deep understanding of the technology landscape to identify emerging opportunities and assess the competitive positioning of potential investments.

We are looking for a candidate who "smacks of investment modeling" and possesses a proven track record of translating complex opportunities into actionable, data-driven investment theses.

• Experience: 5-8+ years in a highly analytical role within investment banking, private equity, venture capital, corporate development, M&A, or a top-tier management consultancy (strategy/finance practice).
• Core Skills: Demonstrable, expert-level proficiency in financial modeling, valuation, and business case development. You can build a compelling investment narrative from the ground up.
• Strategic Mindset: Think like an owner, constantly seeking opportunities to enhance shareholder returns and drive commercial success. See the bigger picture beyond the numbers.
• Executive Presence: Outstanding communication and presentation skills, with the ability to distill complex financial information into clear, concise recommendations for a C-suite audience.
• Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or related quantitative field required. An MBA, CFA, or CPA is highly preferred.
• Industry Acumen: Experience within technology, software (SaaS), or heavy industry/energy sectors is advantageous. Exposure to giga-projects or large-scale transformation programs is desirable.
