• Prepare Financial Information Memoranda (IMs) for project sales
• Lead project sales and financing processes in collaboration with internal stakeholders
• Clearly communicate key value drivers, risks, and mitigants to investors and counterparties
• Contribute to company-level business planning and strategy discussions
• Translate financial analysis into clear recommendations for non-finance stakeholders
• Assist with Investor Management

We are looking for

• Hands-on experience valuing wind and/or solar projects in Finland, including DCF modelling at FID stage
• Strong understanding of project finance fundamentals (NPV, IRR, capital structure, debt sizing, taxation, inflation indexing)
• Proven experience with project sales or transaction processes
• Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Industrial Engineering and Management, or a related field preferred
• Around 3 years of relevant experience in project finance, investment analysis, or FP&A within energy or infrastructure
• Fluent English skills

Nice to have:

• Experience with PPAs, merchant price modelling, and curtailment or imbalance cost analysis
• Knowledge of Nordic power markets and renewable energy operations
