Transformative Energy Leadership Role

Energy Advisory Senior Manager Role

The successful candidate will be part of our Energy Lead Advisory team and play a pivotal role in delivering transformative strategy, transactions leadership, tax expertise, and corporate finance capability to deliver real-world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper.

You will work closely with energy project developers, investors, financiers, innovators, and key public sector stakeholders across Australia to harness capital and drive impactful M&A solutions that drive the transition to a sustainable, green future.

The key responsibilities include:

• Identifying key value drivers and risk mitigation strategies, challenging assumptions about prices, asset performance, and portfolio construction
• Leading the execution of transactions through the lifecycle including financial modelling, diligence, financing, and transaction negotiation
• Providing seamless integrated experiences for clients throughout the growth and optimisation M&A journey alongside other service lines

Our focus spans various segments of the energy sector including renewable energy generation, storage, transmission build-out, and optimisation strategies for infrastructure investors, developers, and utilities across the mid-market and majors.

This is a hybrid position based in either Naarm – Melbourne or Warrang – Sydney.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Proven experience in a transaction role within an advisory environment; adept at working independently as well as collaboratively with senior stakeholders across multiple engagements
• Demonstrated expertise in M&A, project, and corporate finance structuring, a deep knowledge of the energy market fundamentals, relevant technologies, supply chains, public policy implications, and general project development challenges and opportunities
• A strong desire to make a difference in decarbonising our economy with evident passion for the energy sector
• A bachelor's or master's degree in finance, accounting, business administration, economics, engineering, and/or law is preferred
• Strong work ethic coupled with adaptability towards new challenges within a collaborative team setting: resilient and creative thinking is key to overcoming hurdles to get deals over the finishing line
