Financial Modeller

About the role

You will own the financial strategy for a large, multi-country renewable energy development portfolio, translating commercial dynamics into board-ready models. You will partner directly with developers and senior stakeholders to interrogate investment cases and shape decision making under changing market conditions. This role requires you to drive value maximisation across the full project lifecycle, from early land positions through to exit readiness. You will synthesise complex data streams into clear narratives that de-risk portfolio decisions and unlock capital efficiency. You will be the primary financial architect ensuring that every green electron in the portfolio contributes optimally to net zero outcomes. You will maintain rigorous scenario and sensitivity analyses to stress test assumptions against evolving regulatory and market landscapes. Your work will directly influence the allocation of capital across a portfolio exceeding £7 billion in managed renewable energy assets. You will own the governance of financial performance, ensuring transparency and accountability for fund managers and board directors alike.
