Our team has the capability to deliver funding solutions from multiple capital providers including bank and non-bank lenders (e.g. industry credit funds/HNW family offices, institutional, ESG and benevolent investors, and government agencies).

**Your Opportunity**

This high performing team is growing and has openings at both the **Manager **and **Associate Director** level with a focus on Project Finance and M&A transactions in the Energy, Natural Resources and Infrastructure sectors. The roles will be based in **Perth**, but with scope to cover transactions across Australia and internationally.

- Demonstrating a passion for financial advisory in a fast-paced deals environment.
- Taking a pro-active approach to business development and stakeholder engagement to grow our opportunities.
- Having the confidence to manage direct client interactions, taking leadership for key deal workstreams and driving project deadlines.
- Assisting with the preparation and review of key transaction deliverables including teaser documents, information memorandums, complex financial models, term sheets and other reports and presentations.

**How are you extraordinary?**
- You are currently an energetic and high performing Associate Director, Senior Manager or experienced Manager in a banking, financial advisory or professional services environment looking to take your career to the next level.
- Your previous experience has led you to be highly interested in capital markets and funding options for organisations and projects, with that interest extending to a strong desire to originate and close deals.
- You enjoy working in flexible and adaptive environments and leverage your strong communication skills to optimise team based outcomes against team based goals.

**Your Experience**

At KPMG, we believe diversity of thought, background and experience, strengthens relationships and delivers meaningful benefits to our people, our clients, and communities. To be considered for this opportunity, your qualifications, skills & experience could include:
