• 6–10 years’ experience in investment banking, private equity or corporate finance with a proven track record of executed transactions
• Advanced financial analysis, valuation and deal execution skills from term sheet through close, with sound judgement under pressure
• Ownership mindset - you take decisions with confidence, follow through, and deliver measurable outcomes
• Strong collaborator who acts as #TeamRWE - shares knowledge and builds trust across functions and geographies
• Comfortable in a flat, entrepreneurial environment - adaptable, hands-on, and ready to assume a wide span of responsibilities

Advantageous, but not essential

• Sector experience across power, utilities, resources or adjacent energy transition verticals

What we value most is someone who continuously demonstrates courage, thrives to create impact and seeks to build trusting, collaborative relationships. So, even if you think you do not yet display all of the skills listed above we would still like to hear from you.
