One of the country's most dynamic and successful Project Finance Teams consulting to the Public Sector requires a Manager to head their Financial Modelling team. The Financial Modelling team produce models to support business case development, assess affordability and VfM for procuring authority clients, or to price bids, support borrowing and investment decisions and to aid negotiations with the public sector for clients bidding for PFI contracts.
They are now seeking an experienced Financial Modelling Team Leader to head up this team as their Line Manager.
On the modelling side, the experience and qualifications they require are:
A CCAB qualification or a qualification appropriate to the sector in which you acquired your Financial Modelling experience, e.g. a banking or securities diploma. (The ideal classic profile for this role is a degree followed by an accountancy qualification, however they are not necessarily seeking accountants you could come from an Investment background, but will need related formal qualifications)
Experience in BUILDING financial models, specifically funding models, not simple cost models (Im afraid experience solely in model review, analysis or due diligence, no matter how complex, is not sufficient)
Experience of undertaking team-based Financial Modelling assignments for external clients
Experience in infrastructure models, as in, the initial build phase followed by 10 - 30 year concession phase
Funder covenants
Macro development
Excel and VBA
Knowledge or experience of the PFI process
Experience of PFI or Project Finance assignments working with banks or similar financial institutions
On the management side, the experience required is having managed a financial modelling team before, preferably in a consultancy serving PFI/PPP clients.
Please note the above attributes are essential you require all of the above to be eligible for this role. Please also be aware that they are seeking someone whose main role has been financial modelling, as opposed to someone who has done financial modelling as a small part of a different role.
The crux of this position is the preparation and development of financial models to support PFI advisory activities, however there is a huge variety of other tasks in this role such as client bid advice, model review, Corporate Finance complex modelling support, shadow pricing and QA. Financial Models are used to support business case development, assess affordability, or to price bids, support investment decisions and to assist clients negotiations with the public sector. Often a generic model can be used, otherwise highly complex and tailored bespoke models are developed.
There is a great deal of external liaison in the role and a huge opportunity to grow with one of the fastest-growing, dynamic and successful Project Finance teams in the UK. This company is particularly popular with refugees of the Big 4 due to the inherent freedoms and absence of constraints in this team.
