The ideal candidate is commercially minded, analytically strong, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities can evolve quickly.

• Represent Organisation in industry conferences, networking events, investor meetings, and strategic partner discussions.

• Identify and assess potential acquisition targets, strategic investments, partnerships, and talent-driven opportunities.
• Conduct financial analysis, valuation, financial modeling, due diligence, and deal structuring for potential transactions.

• Analyze market trends, competitive landscapes, and strategic opportunities to inform Organization's investment and expansion priorities.
• Prepare investment cases, management presentations, and recommendations for senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

• 3-6 years of relevant experience in investment banking, venture capital, management consulting, corporate development, or a similar strategic role.
• Strong capabilities in financial modeling, valuation, transaction analysis, and deal structuring.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects from start to finish.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present a compelling case through decks, investment memos, analysis, and executive discussions.
• Strong commercial and strategic thinking, combined with a willingness to get into the details and execute.
