Our Financial Modellers have a crucial role to play in driving commerce in its many forms. As an Assistant Director in the team you will work closely with clients, helping them capitalize on new opportunities and deliver responsible growth by building the tools they rely on to guide critical decisions and to secure the funds to enact them. In doing so, you will have exposure to many aspects of corporate and project finance across a wide range of industries.

Modelling projects involve building or reviewing complex financial models for transactions, strategy, financial restructuring and forecasting.

You will scope how projects will be delivered, agree the approach with clients and coach junior team members through delivery.

Throughout engagements, you will manage the financial aspects of engagements by preparing a budget, organising staffing, tracking engagement economics, keeping clients up to date and communicating the status to the project Partner.

In addition to delivering work, you will develop new business by responding to clients’ requests for proposals and by building and leveraging your own your network of internal and external contacts.
