- Prepare financing documentation and manage data rooms
What we're looking for
- 2 to 3 years in project finance, infrastructure debt or renewables, at a bank, development bank, advisory firm, developer or fund
- Hands-on experience with KfW financing or other public development bank funding in Germany
- Some exposure to equity investments or M&A is a strong plus
- Solid modelling skills and a good grasp of financing structures and cash flows
- Fluent German (you will work and negotiate in German) and good English
- Based in Germany or happy to relocate to Munich
What's on offer
- Competitive base plus bonus, 30 days holiday, company pension
